7 Times You Know You're A Scuba Diver

Life is just better when you're swimming with ocean creatures and don't have to talk to people for an hour.

7 Times You Know You're A Scuba Diver

Remember that moment when you took your very first breath...underwater?

The only thing better than scuba diving is watching your friend's jaw drop when you tell them you've been 90 feet underwater and have swum with turtles and eels. Scuba diving is a craft -- it's exhilarating, addictive, and makes you feel alive.

You know you're a scuba diver when...

1. You have the best pick-up lines

"I'll show you my SPG if you show me yours."

"I either have the bends or I'm in love, sweetheart, because when I see you I get all tingly."

Or, you know, you can just get married underwater too. That's cute.

2. You find yourself throwing weird hand signals all the time

Trust me, that's what they really mean.


3. You know not to panic if you run out of air

No seriously, I'm fine. I'm ok with the current events unfolding.


4. You can handle a lot of pressure

The only fun type of pressure is when you have 26 pounds of water pressuring you on every square inch of your body.

5. You ARE a mermaid

No seriously. All those girls who just wish they were mermaids? You are actually 100 percent a mermaid.

6. Again, you don't panic in any situation

You can either die doing what you love (scuba diving and getting eaten by a shark) or die from your lungs exploding from swimming to the surface too fast. Take your pick.

7. You know that the ocean is your second home

"There's nothing wrong with enjoying looking at the surface of the ocean itself, expect that when you finally see what goes on underwater, you realize you've been missing the whole point of the ocean."

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.
