What College Is Really About

Let the stress begin!

We all have that moment when you have so much stuff to do and not enough time to do it in. I tend to have that feeling once a week (usually on Thursdays). As a college student, I learned what classes I can procrastinate in and which others I can't, like history. I don't recommend procrastinating, but if you do, know which ones are worth the stress. I learned that there are positive stresses in life from health, but how can that be? I guess an example of this is getting a job because it's something you really want. But college is different. It has been full of stress, and I don't normally get stressed, but here, it's a whole different playing field.

Staying healthy and getting all of your stuff done is harder than it looks. You'll grab anything that is accessible, easy and quick. And with finals coming up just a few weeks away, so will the pounds. Stress eating is one of those things that can't be avoided but can be healthy if you choose to do so. But, if you do pack on the pounds you have the summer to shed the weight before it happens again next year. It's hard to do things and keep a routine everyday.

College wasn't meant to be easy. There are things that a person can't change or foresee, but they can also change the out look of the end if he or she plays their cards right. Know what you have to do to succeed and do it. Every semester is full of uncertainties, and in my eyes, it's the best part. A new start. New goals. New you.

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.
