Don't Wish Away College

Being a junior in college, you start to hear the different opinions and changing perspectives of the remaining time left of your four years here. There’s two types of people. You have the one person who would legitimately fail a class just to get one more semester in and the other person who would leave this school in a heartbeat. From the way I see it, this is the only time you will be able to experience college and it goes by in a blink of an eye. Believe it or not, there are going to be a few things that can only be found in your college time that you will miss.

One thing you will miss is the social aspect of college. It’ll soon hit you when you’re deep in your job and soon realize you don’t have the time to go out or have no energy to go out. The beauty of college is the plenty of opportunities you have to go out. Margarita Mondays, Mug night Tuesdays, Ladies night Wednesdays, Thirsty Thursdays, you can easily find an excuse to go out any day of the week. After college, you can find me at the movie theatre with my mom on a Friday night. Not that I don’t love my mom. Cherish going out with your friends while you can.

Another thing you will miss is having the pleasure of living with your best friends. Maybe your apartment/house isn’t sparkling clean, but you’re going to miss yelling at your friends to take the garbage out and complain that you never have clean utensils. Having the opportunity to live with my friends makes my college experience so awesome. You get to laugh with them the moment you wake up to the moment you go to bed. This is the most time you will spend with your friends you made from college, so don’t be in a rush to say goodbye.

Don’t wish away college. It is important to think about what’s to come after you graduate and there is no problem with being excited about your plans after college. However, ask yourself “When’s the next time you are going to experience this much fun?”

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.
