Finding Motivation For The Rest Of The Semester

We are days before finals and I can probably speak for every college student out there, that we are tired, exhausted, and ready for finals to be over. Running on little to no sleep, caffeine is our friend, minus me because I don't drink it, and stressing about how we can bump the low grade in our class to a solid A.

Finals does something to us, we turn into the wheel of emotions. We can be sad one minute and happy the next. Or as I saw one guy do, carry a box of Kleenex with him to class. Mental breakdowns are a thing, I have had about four so far within the past week. If you are reading this and think this is crazy, well you have never gone to college and don't understand the struggle we go through trying to just make it to tomorrow.

Somehow and some way, I got myself out of bed and went to class. I have zero motivation anymore. I just feel I am flying on autopilot. Sometimes I don't remember how I got to class looking somewhat decent. It is not because I am lazy, it's because I'm tired, exhausted, have barely slept five hours, and the big factor, stressed. Being in your last year of college is tough too, you just want to get the required classes done and finally graduate. I try to motivate myself every single day I get out of bed telling myself that I am one day closer to the semester being over and closer to graduation.

Being a college student is a tough job, but I believe the job gets tougher two weeks before the semester is over and I think that every college student in my position will agree with me. So, if you are a college student who is in the same boat as I, know that you are not alone. You can do it and the semester is almost over.

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.
