20 Relatable First World Problems

I ordered my pizza 5 minutes ago. Why isn't it here yet? I'm hungry right now.

20 Relatable First World Problems

First world problems are things that we all experience that are essentially just minor inconveniences throughout our day-to-day lives. Are they worth complaining about? Probably not but I'm about to list them off anyway. Here are 20 first world problems that I list off while I sip on my too-hot latte:

1. Having No Wifi

Having your wifi go out while you're on the season finale of Grey's Anatomy?? Tragic. Even if it's the 4th time you are watching the series and you already know that everyone eventually dies in the show.

2. Having a 9 a.m. class... on a FRIDAY

Staying up way too late on Thursday and then having to wake up for that 9 a.m. class on Friday, the worst. On second thought, is that 9 a.m. even worth the hassle?

3. Chipped Nail Polish

You know that horror when you just painted your nails the night before and they already started chipping.

4. A Wardrobe Full of Clothes, but NOTHING to Wear

Every morning is spent staring at clothes that you just don't feel like wearing for whatever reason. This usually results in wearing the same 3 outfits, like every week.

5. When Dominos is Taking too Long on Your Delivery

I ordered my pizza 5 minutes ago. Why isn't it here yet? I'm hungry right now.

6. Running Out of Hot Water

I've been in the shower for 30 minutes contemplating life and have yet to start washing my hair, why is the water cold now? Rude.

7. When the Line At Starbucks Makes You Late For Class

I had to have my coffee this morning or I was just going to die, but the baristas just took so long and now I'm late.

8. Commercials

I forgot this was live TV, now I can't fast forward through commercials and now I'm bored.

9. When you get cozy in Bed...

but them you remember you have homework due at midnight and it's 11 p.m. right now.

10. When your Phone Charger Doesn't Reach Your Bed

This is just disrespectful.

11. Changing your Password on Anything

Then you have to re-log-in on every electronic device. Laptop, phone, tablet, etc.

12. Being Hungry But Having No Food Around

You know when you open and close your fridge about 17 times hoping that food will magically appear and then it never does?

13. When Your Headphones Get Tangled

Over time you stick your headphones in your pocket, even if it's just for a minute, they somehow become tangled.

14. Catching Up On Your Favorite Show

When you've been binge-watching New Girl for the last week and are now all caught up and have to wait for the next season.

15. Not Getting As Many Likes or Retweets As You Wanted

When the world doesn't think you're as funny as you think you are.

16. When People Have Their Instagrams on 'Private'

You worked so hard to find people on Instagram to stalk but they have their profiles on private, how dare they?

17. Online Shopping

The worst is buying the wrong size and then being too lazy to ship it back so now you're stuck with a shirt that you're never going to wear and wasted money.

18. Going into a Food Coma

I am so full that I might just explode. Why did I eat all that food? Oh. My. Gosh. I just ate so much.

19. Pringles Cans

My hand is just too big to fit and having to tilt the can is just so much work.

20. That Low Battery 10% Notification

My phone is dying but my charger is on the other side of the room... I'm just going to continue playing on my phone and then complain when it dies.

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.
