If you are reading this, then hopefully I survived my last midterm. Yet another infamous college experience that was more horrible than I expected — but, real talk?

Mine lasted like three weeks.

Professors, I understand you don’t all talk, but let the suffering end. I am tired and slightly unsure how to move on. If anyone else is in the same boat, here are some suggestions that I may or may not be actively planning on using.

1. Eat something.

Yeah. Food. Remember that?

2. See if you can cook an egg on Samuel Black’s foot.

Let's see just how hot it is outside.

3. Jump into an Aquaplex pool fully clothed and baptize your sad soul.

4. Impulse buy something.

Hats and catchy buttons for $35? Worth it. There's a pineapple on it.

5. Plan a last minute Halloween costume, and go beg for candy and cry about your loss of innocence.

Maybe save the crying for after. Scaring kids is one thing, traumatizing them is another.

6. Watch the Netflix Halloween movies before they leave.

Hurry, before they replace them with Christmas movies!

7. Go to the Howl Film Fest.

On Oct. 31, 2017, head to Don Powell Theatre at 7:30 p.m. General admission is $10. What else are you gonna do if you aren't trick or treating? There's a best costume contest! Support your school!

8. Get a head start on celebrating Christmas.

We all know you didn't appreciate Halloween enough.

9. Binge-watch something on Netflix.

Looking for some intense nostalgia? I personally recommend Big Mouth. It made me sad in ... weird ways.

10. Binge-watch Stranger Things

Who are we kidding? You already have. Rewatch it.

11. Call your mom

Or your dad. FaceTime your dog. Life exists off campus, I promise.

12. Obsessively clean your room/desk/bathroom.

Or not ... probably not. Sorry roommates!

13. Spa day!

Wash your face! And hair! Clean your feet! Get under the armpits ... I'm just describing a shower. Take a shower.

14. Go to yoga

Actually, always go to yoga. It's great. Try Candlelit Hatha Yoga with Daniel at the ARC, Tuesdays at 8 p.m. Get there early to snag a mat.

15. Cry.

Because you actually have time to now!

Honorable mentions! From a freshman friend at SF State:

16. “Bury urself so u dont have to see ur exam scores”

17. “Gather in an outdoor public area with as many friends as u can and just scream for an hour straight”

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.
