A Day In The Life Of A Lazy Overachiever

I think we can all admit to ourselves that we have dreamt of being that person who is always on time, always organized, and is always going the extra mile. However, those people are what I like to refer to as 'unicorns' which is just my way of saying very rare in real life. Whoever can keep their life together 24/7 and look sane while doing it deserves an award. I strive to be known as one of those 'unicorns'. However, I have a huge downfall that prevents me from achieving such a status and that is my laziness. I'm sure that everyone reading can relate to having a long day at work and coming home and just crashing on the couch for the rest of the night. That is what normal people do after hard days. I, however, seem to do that almost everyday. I usually try to start my day strong with an early run or a trip to the gym before work and that gives me a great start to my day. But because I've just worked out I never want coffee, which I need to consume to make it through the day. After I workout and shower I get myself ready for work. I work usually an eight to ten hour shift with a lunch break. i really enjoy my job and especially because it has to do with my future career I want to impress my employers and coworkers. Therefore, I try to look my best everyday and I try to have a good work ethic.

Also I am usually still inspired and motivated after my morning workout so I pack a chicken salad and some type of fruit for lunch to try and keep the healthy lifestyle alive. Sometimes I even bring my life planner that I spent way too much money on to work so I can pencil in my schedule and look more organized. At this point my shift is more than halfway over and I usually get hungry, so I'll take a quick break to grab a snack and then finish my shift off on a good note. Up to this point I feel good about myself and all that I've been able to accomplish in such a short time. So, naturally, this is when things start to take a turn for the worst. I get home and immediately either head straight for more food or plop myself down on my living room couch. If I decided to get food I'll bring enough for a person to last three days into the living room with me so I can eat and watch whatever show is on HGTV at that time. Usually thirty minutes or an hour into this I realize that I could potentially be doing something productive so I could stay organized and my life would run smoother. However, I do not have the willpower to stop relaxing and get up to do something I don't really want to do. On one hand, yes, I want to be prepared for whatever I need to be prepared for, but, on the other hand, I want to sit down and see if the couple decides to love it or list it. So, I will continue to sit there until I get an enticing offer to do something or I get tired enough where I decide to get up and go to bed. Once I make ti to my room I will then realize all the stuff I should have been doing while I was doing nothing. I will then come to regret every decision I have made since I got back form work and make a list of things for myself to do the next day. Which lets be honest here, probably won't happen.

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.
