10 Animals That Describe Every College Student While On Break

Winter break is coming to a close and college students around the country are returning to school. For anyone else doing a little reflection, here are my top feelings from break illustrated by adorable animals.

1. When my parents tell me it’s time to wake up and to stop “wasting away your break”

How am I supposed to catch up on sleep and feel rested when you drag me out of bed before it’s even daylight outside?

2. When I see that unfortunate acquaintance from high school out in public

Maybe it’s that guy with terrible manners, or the girl who was way out of my league. Regardless, I wish I could melt through the sidewalk and forget every one of those cringe-worthy conversations before they come in and try to awkwardly feign small talk for twenty minutes.

3. When my mom cooks my favorite food

Let’s be honest- dining hall food just isn’t that great. There’s occasional highlights, but nothing beats a home-cooked pot of mom’s spaghetti after a cold walk with the dog.

4. When New Years shows up and I make another resolution to exercise more

Every day I tell myself tomorrow is the day, but then oops it’s ten o’clock and who wants to be sweaty right before bed? Oh well…

5. When I finally have time to catch up on reading

There are so many good books! Where do they all come from? How have I been missing these in my life? No, mom, I don't want to go out! I have all the company I could ever need right here with my fictional friends!

6. When my pets do something adorable

Wait, here, have another treat so you’ll pose! All my friends need to see this!

7. When all my parents’ friends ask “what I plan to do with my life”

Is reading, eating cookies, and hanging out an acceptable plan? How do people have their lives so together? I don’t even have a plan for summer…

8. When I reach a new level of boredom even though I have 7 million things I could be doing

*Looks around at puzzles, dog, books, and computer. Calls up friend, sits and does nothing, feels better*

9. When I find a catchy new song and dance all over the house

Don’t come upstairs please don’t come upstairs…

10. When you realize break is already over and its time for school to start again

Wait, what happened? I’m not ready to do more work!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
