Are you a stressed college student? Yeah, same. Prepare yourself for a long-winded, run-on sentence: you know when you reach that point of semi-insanity, as you feel the hours til the deadline ticking away faster than you anticipated, and suddenly you're in on a Saturday night while everyone else rages? Again, same. Here are 29 thoughts that run through your head when you have 1,000,000 things to do, with so little time.

1. This is manageable.

2. ....Or maybe not.

3. This will totally pay off when I'm extremely successful one day.

4...Except I have no idea what I want to do after I graduate.

5. That's fine, I've got time....but I have like no time to finish all this work.

6. Shit, okay time to make a schedule for myself.

7. 4 hours of sleep should definitely be enough.

8. So this is why I should've done the reading for class, because no I have to go back and reread.

9. Thesis, thesis, Lord bless me with a bitchin thesis statement.

10. You know what? I'll just come back to this assignment.

11. Okay, let's see, chapters 18-27. That doesn't seem too bad.

12. It's 155 pages because of course it is.

13. Alright back to the thesis statement, here we go.

14. Time check! How has it been 25 minutes? Literally where the hell did that time march off to?

15. FOCUS! See, this is the effect of technology on today's youths. If I didn't have an iPhone then I wouldn't be tempted to check it every 2 minutes.

16. Okay, I'm going to make some tea, and take a minute to gather my thoughts.

17. SHIT HOW DID THAT TAKE A HALF HOUR?

18. I'll just go to the library, get a nice change of scenery.

19. JK it's SATURDAY NIGHT. It closes at 1130. Because it's a Saturday. Ya know, when people are supposed to be having fun.

20. I did this to myself. Damn you, Netflix.

21. Alright, my fear of failure will carry me through this.

22. *Cue Matthew Mcconaughey voice* Alright alright alright, somehow got three pages down.

23. I'm invincible!

24. Or maybe it's just the caffeine, adrenaline, and anxiety coursing through me.

25. I believe in me.

26. You know what? I got this.

27. Just picturing the light at the end of the tunnel.

28. And once this paper is done, I'll just skim the crap out of that reading.

29. It'll be okay. And if it's not...well I'll deal with that later.

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.
