12 Signs You're In A Sophomore Slump, As Told By "New Girl"
Cheatsheet

College. It's a doozy. It's only my sophomore year, yet I am already feeling run dry from the work load I have been getting from my classes. Just about anything sounds better than going to class Monday through Friday. (Sorry, mom and dad.) Here's my account of the phenomenon "The Sophomore Slump,' as told by my favorite characters of "New Girl."


1. You find just about any excuse to skip class and do something more, uh... productive.


2. You seriously consider dropping out of school and moving to a foreign country at least twice a day. Who needs college, am I right?


3. You show up to class hungover, looking like a hobo.


4. You give yourself pep talks just to produce the motivation to go to class and ya know, learn or whatever.


5. When all you can think about in class is how hungry you are and how much you hate people.


7. You actually show up to class one day and you're like, super proud of yourself. 4.0 GPA here we come.


8. The only motivation you have to go to class is the semi-cute boy that sits across from you in your lab.


9. You literally have no remorse when you sleep through your alarm for your 9:30 class. None. At. All.


10. Any type of research paper seems like the hardest thing in the world to accomplish.


11. You finally show up, after a week, and the professor reminds the class of the 100 assignments due by 11:59 that day.


12. You feel the need to skip class and get coffee at the campus Starbucks. And see your professor whose class you haven't been to in at least a week.


But HEY! You just got through a full week of classes only wanting to die like four times! Congrats!

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.
