10 Things You Could Have Done In The Time Spent On Your Phone Before Bed

We're all guilty of it. It's a bad habit, but it's one we do everyday. We are that meme of the person wrapped in a towel, laying on their bed for an hour. We do our best to not have it affect our ability to fall asleep, by turning on night-mode, and try to have it not infringe on our eight hours of sleep, but we don't always succeed. That Facebook promo, Instagram post, and our fantasy football line-up NEEDS to be checked at 12:30am. It becomes part of our daily night routine. So one night I decided to not check your status, your promo, or recently added photos, and thought about what one could do in this time slot instead.

1. Send an anonymous eggplant to someone.

My roommate freshman year sent her boyfriend a eggplant, with a personnalized message engraved into it, and I think its pure genius. Nothing says Happy Holidays than a delivered eggplant.

2. Run a mile.

Get your lazy ass up and go run that mile at one am. Reflecting vests are so in!!!

3. Write your memoir.

Your life is sick, and definetlty will be a New York Times best seller

4. Bake a cake.

Channel your inner Betty Crocker and find that tasty video you've been eyeing for a few days now. Food is always better after 12.

5. Watch Borat.

Truly a great comedy that I highly reccomend. If you're a night owl and plan on staying up for a few hours, Bruno and The Dictator are also great. You're welcome.

6. Play a game.

Knock on all your roommates doors until one of them comes out and screams at you. Yay for bonding time!

7. Take a ride on your apartment complexes elevator.

Nothing like those two am elevator rides, with the drunk stranger down the hall! Nothing like life advise from the drunkie accompanying you. Trust them they're "not saying this because [I'm] their drunk"

8. Learn how to play Bagpipes.

SPOILER ALERT: Boys, girls love a man who is tall, dark, and handsome, who also plays the bag pipes. Go woo your girl.

9. Revamp your linked in profile!

Your brain is of course functioning at it's best when you're half asleep. Go give that bio some attention, and show Morgan Stanley who you are.

10. Channel your inner Karate Kid.

Put that Black Belt to use. Your parents will love not getting their deposit back at the end of the year for the accidental whole in the wall.

Take everything I say like you take your tequila, with a grain of salt.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
