A Broken Toe For Each Year Of College

These are the best years (and best broken toes) of your life, you know!

Cheers to all of the klutzes of all of the friend groups out there—this one’s for you! Correlation may not be causation, but heck, it seems that maybe our broken toes can tell us a little something about our changing social habits over the years. Ideally, you don’t actually break a toe every year but if you did, it might look a little something like this:

1. Freshman year—The rando at the party

You know what I’m talking about. There’s a new definition brought to the term “standing room only” at these parties that so many of us find ourselves at freshman year. Lots of bodies, lots of sweat, and if you’re lucky some random dude will step on you and crush your toe on your way out! One year of college and one toe down.

2. Sophomore year—The friend you tried to take care of

So, by this point, you’ve moved away from the random party scene and probably found yourself just getting together with your group of friends when you’re looking for something fun to do on the weekends. This is all fine and well until you decide to play “mom” and end up with a broken toe in the process. Two years of college, two toes down.

(disclaimer: your mom skills only go so far when your friend is stubborn and bigger than you—don’t push it)

3. Junior year—The world probably just hates you

In the thick of junior year, sometimes even low-key gatherings with friends seem like too much effort. If you’re bored, the ideal situation is when you can get your friends to come to you! Until you run down the stairs to let them in, and trip along the way. Three years of college and yes, you guessed it, three toes down.

4. Senior year—The end of an era

Given your decreasing motivation to leave home for anything but class/work, your chances of a broken toe are also decreasing. Nice! Maybe senior year will serve as the calm ending to an era, all ten toes intact. However, if you’re one of the truly unfortunate klutzes out there, perhaps you’ll break a toe in your sleep. Four years of college, four toes down.

If you find yourself here and are planning on going to graduate/law/medical school, calcium supplements may be in order. Best of luck!

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.
