25 Things I Would Rather Do Than Go Back To School

I may or may not be over exaggerating.

25 Things I Would Rather Do Than Go Back To School
Alexis Chandrasurin

Lets be real, everyone says that they are ready to go back to school next month, but I promise you they aren't really. I think about how excited I am to go back all the time, but when I get to thinking about it, I really am not as excited as I want to be. Think about all the books you're going to have to get, all the syllabi you're going to have to read, how many times you actually have to introduce yourself to others, sooner or later things start to add up and get a little overwhelming. Although school can be really stressful sometimes, my mind likes to over exaggerate how terrible things are and put things in a really unrealistic way of thinking. Here are some things I would rather do than go by to school next month.

1. Buy a "Make America Great Again" hat and wearing it everywhere I go.

2. Make cookies, but accidentally burn them, and since I'm so lazy still eat them even though the taste is so gruesome.

3. Watch a foreign television show without subtitles.

4. Binge watch all Harry Potter movies in a day.

5. Wear all white to a BBQ.

6. Accidentally bleach all of my black t-shirts.

7. Attempt at making a perfect pancake that doesn't look like mountains on a map.

8. Go to the DMV on a Monday.

9. Put my hand in a bag of catnip for an hour then play with my kitten.

10. Do leg day everyday and forget about the arms.

11. Lay down for a nap only to remember you forgot to get something out of the car, and if you don't get it as soon as possible it would ruin it (example: candy bar).

12. Eat the chicken from the movie Bridesmaids and poop in the middle of the street like the bride did.

13. Get an acting role with Shaquille O'Neal.

14. Explain a silent film to a blind person.

15. Be the only girl in the book "Lord of the Flies."

16. Talk about football for more than 30 minutes.

17. Attend a sports event on campus that wasn't handing out free t-shirts or sunglasses.

18. Be in the movie "Texas Chainsaw Massacre."

19. Read the last chapter of every book I read before starting the book itself.

20. Not drink soda during finals week.

21. Take a drink from Bill Cosby.

22. Eat a dozen donuts, then run a marathon.

23. Get a tattoo by Ray Charles.

24. Go to a play with John Wilkes Booth.

25. Turn into an actual potato.

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.
