25 Ways You Know You're Constantly On The Hot Mess Express

All aboard the Hot Mess Express! For anyone who is never on time, always running late, coffee in one hand and phone in the other, you’ll understand this list. Even when you try to organize your life it somehow still manages to spin out of control. You’ve just learned to go with the flow and have accepted the fact you are never going to be ahead of the game. But hey, that’s life.

  1. Snoozing your alarm until the last possible second is a daily routine.
  2. Your hair is in the same bun from last night because you woke up late.
  3. Let’s be realistic, you’re probably still in the same makeup from last night.
  4. You can’t be bothered with looking all dressed up.
  5. And you dread the days when you actually have to look nice.
  6. You probably haven’t done laundry in close to a month and you’re wearing the pair of sweatpants you’ve had since middle school because that is all that is clean.
  7. You’ve had to brush your teeth in the shower, while peeing, or while getting dressed more than once.
  8. You never realize your clothes have holes or stains until it’s too late.
  9. If you have to be at work at 4 you are running into the door at exactly 4 with a coat, your phone, your phone charger, and a coffee in your hand.
  10. You’ve probably finished getting ready in a car more than once.
  11. If you ever get stranded in a car somewhere you hope it’s your car because you have 20 half drank water bottles on your floor.
  12. None of your school work is ever in the right folder, but hey, at least you try to take notes.
  13. You have the three-minute shower down to a science.
  14. You are a strong believer in the “sniff test” when it comes to your clothing.
  15. You are never on time for anything ever.
  16. You live out of your purse because your whole life is in there. You never know what you might forget when you go somewhere, so you always have a travel size one ready.
  17. What is matching clothing? Does that really exist?
  18. Your blood is 95% coffee.
  19. “Due tomorrow? Do tomorrow” is your life motto.
  20. “Has anyone seen my other shoe?!”
  21. You swear that some of your stuff has grown legs and just walked off, because you lose everything all the time.
  22. You constantly forget to eat so a lot of the time you’re eating in your car on the way somewhere, and the trash on your floor proves it.
  23. “Shit, I didn’t realize my gas light was on.”
  24. The speed limit is just a suggestion since you’re always running late.
  25. You forgot what your bedroom floor looks like because your room is probably a mess, just like your life.

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.
