College As Told By "That 70s Show"

College As Told By "That 70s Show"

College is supposed to be some of the best years of our lives. It is a time of exploration and self-discovery. We try to find what we are good at and try to make a career out of it.

Obviously, college has its ups and downs and "That 70s Show" perfectly describes it:

When you remember you have a paper due at midnight (and you haven’t started it)

It happens more often than we would like to admit.

When your professor cancels class

More time to sleep! Or catch up on studying or homework, but let's be real.

When it’s finals week

The time of the year when you forget everything you thought you learned. It feels like your life is falling apart.

When you have $2.00 in your bank account

“I need to cut down on the Starbucks,” you say to yourself every week.

When you have obligations and events and commitments and meetings but you watch Netflix instead.

You can give yourself a break.

When you get a decent grade on an exam

Hey, you might actually know what you’re doing! Or maybe not.

When people ask you about your life

What are you majoring in? Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend? How are your grades? What do you want to do when you graduate?

When you have assignments and exams and projects that just keep piling up

Your professors are plotting against you, you're sure of it.

When you have to fight the elements while walking across campus

The weather app becomes your best friend. Is it raining? Snowing? Hailing? You have to be prepared because your classes become that much worse if you are soaking wet and freezing.

When you leave for break

Finally, a chance to breathe, relax, and spend time with family. Unless your professors scheduled an assignment.

But really, college is great. I’ve already grown as a person and I'm figuring out how to get my life together. Kind of.

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.
