Oh, those long lines and chatty people.

I have many mantras, and I follow almost every single one of them. "Be Fearless," "You Can't Control the Waves but You Can Learn How To Surf," and "Hakuna Matata". But never have I ever lived by the "be patient" mantra. It drives me insane! Yes, I will wait, but not patiently. Here are the struggles every impatient person goes through:

1. Lines.

Whether you are waiting to pay for something or waiting to get on a bus, waiting in lines drives you insane.


2. When cashiers talk to you.

And they make the process slower! Can you just tell me how much do I owe?


3. Commercials.

I already know that Papa Johns has a promotion this week, please don't remind me every 10 minutes. This is why we love Netflix, no commercials or unnecessary adds.


4. Slow people on the street.

Oh, damn tourist and people who will take forever to walk on the street. You have to hold yourself back from punching them or screaming at them.


5. Fast food lines.

It's called fast food for a reason, so don't make me wait more than 20 minutes between the moment I came in and the moment you give me my slice of pizza!


6. Waiting for an email or text.

Please just answer!

7. When the food takes forever to arrive.

And all you are eating is bread with butter. You even finished your second refill by the time your appetizer arrives.

8. Flight delays.

just don't.


9. Calling your phone/internet provider.

"Miss Margulis, can you turn the device off/on? Oh, that didn't work? Please hold on while we fix the problem" And that's how an hour goes by.


10. Waiting another week for your TV show to be released.

Wouldn't it be magical if we could just watch the entire season in one sitting?


11. Helping someone use a new device.

and this is how friendships end.


12. Waiting a year for the next season to be released

C'mon Orange is The New Black! Come out faster!

13. When your professor takes forever to grade your test or essay.



14. Waiting for your book, planner or DVD to arrive.

or anything you purchased online.

15. Boiling water

those 5 minutes you have to wait before you can put your pasta / quinoa/ rice in. Let's just take a minute and thank G-d for creating instant food that doesn't taste as good, but takes less time to make!


16. When people are late

Seriously, when you tell me you want to meet at 7:00, I expect you to meet me at 7:00. It's 7:10 and I already thought about every single thing LiLo has done in her life. EVERY.SINGLE.THING!

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.
