10 Things You Know If You Have Tummy Problems

Having a stomach ache or regular problems with your stomach might be one of the most aggravating things to deal with. Especially when you've got eyes bigger than your tummy. In the daily life of a person plagued by stomach issues, there are so many moments of anguish over foods that cannot and shouldn't be eaten. Here's a list of things we all feel when our tummy isn't feeling right:

1. "There will be free cookies!!!!" does not spur excitement


2. "Serving PIZZAAA!" also doesn't

Pizza is a delicious gift from the Gods, sent specifically to anger your intestines.


3. You are constantly checking food labels

The complicated ingredients don't faze you. "Hey, partially hydrogenated palm fruit oil! I didn't know you were in this snack!"


4. You're in awe of the friends who can eat anything they want to without pain


5. Not being able to eat anything your college makes


6. There is constant fear of letting a fart out in public


7. You love talking about your bowels with friends

Even during dinner conversations, which is a great way to make your group of dinner friends dwindle.


8. You rejoice when you discover tasty gluten-free/dairy-free/soy-free/nut-free (you get the point) versions of your favorite foods.


9. Picking from a menu is one hundred times easier

Especially when you can only properly digest a single entree.

10. You love making jokes about digestive issues.

11. You've learned to take care of yourself and be very, very grateful for what your body CAN do

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.
