15 Things You Can Do To Chill The F*** Out

Guys, relax, seriously.

15 Things You Can Do To Chill The F*** Out
Ian Cleary

Last week was hellish, let's be honest. Our country's morals are disintegrating, our president is covered in Dorito dust, the racists are emerging from the cracks in the sidewalk, and there's just a**holes all around. But I digress. No matter which team to you play for, last week was stressful and it showed. Facebook fights raged on. Protesters flooded the streets (vive la résistance!). It was a relentless onslaught of drama. And frankly, I'm tired of it.

Now, that doesn't mean you should stop resisting! I'm right there with you, guys but, I'm not trying to lose all my hair from stress either. Life's about balance, everything in moderation. You have to regulate your levels of anarchy with relaxation.

So here's some things you can do.

1. Take a nap

Self-explanatory.

2. Dance around to "Les Misérables" or "Hairspray"

Let the angst fuel you.

3. Read a book

I recommend something by Kurt Vonnegut.

4. Go outside

I know, I know, it's scary out there, but fresh air is good for you.

5. Create some art

Every successful artist is pissed off about something.

6. Watch a movie

"V for Vendetta", "The Patriot", "Schindler's List"...

7. Drink some tea

The plant water is good for you, trust me.

8. Pet a dog

Always a good idea

9. Play a video game

Get some of that rage out, kiddos.

10. Write

It helps, trust me.

11. Exercise

You have to get in shape for those long marches.

12. Take another nap

One is never enough.

13. Star-gaze

We are all tiny and insignificant. Find some comfort in that.

14. Eat some pancakes

Always makes me feel better.

15. Realize that it's only four years

Seriously though, it's going to be okay.

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.
