Five Things I'd Rather Do On Sunday Nights Than Homework

This list of horrible, tedious things I'd rather do than homework could be a mile long. My articles might lead you to believe that I'm always hungry, lazy, and irresponsible, but I can assure you, I have my life together -- mostly.

Five Things I'd Rather Do On Sunday Nights Than Homework
1. Laundry. I put off doing laundry until Sunday nights for a reason. It takes forever. But for some reason, I choose to do this for about six hours before I even crack a book. I've been told that it is possible to do laundry and homework at the same time, but I don't believe it. 

2. Organize my closet and dressers. This is a chore that my mother used to punish me with when I was eight years old. But when I know I have an assignment due in a couple hours, I suddenly can't think of anything I would rather do than color code my t-shirts.  

3. Read my Mother's Facebook. There are few things I dread more than my mom's misuse of social media, but one of them is homework. My mother's Facebook (like many middle aged people) includes things like status updates about the yardwork she did today, embarrassing photos of myself, and awkward selfies. The woman is an angel, but these things are out of hand. Still, I would rather do this for almost an hour before I start preparing for my 7:30 a.m. Recitation. Sorry, Mom.

4. Workout. Working out is usually not a priority for me, until I have an online quiz. And just like that, my health is of highest importance. I might even choose cardio which, to me, is the equivalent of taking my eyes out with a spoon. If you asked me to workout at any other time I would probably make an awkward noise and shuffle out of the room.

5. Doing taxes and financial responsibilities. By this, I mean listening to my dad explain taxes. This is usually an hour-long conversation with big words that are over my head. It usually ends with him telling me how much I owe and what I earned. That is pretty much the only part of the conversation that I understand.    

I really do get around to doing my homework. It may or may not be after midnight, but I still do it. One day, I will take care of my procrastination problem. But not today. Read more tidbits about my typical college behavior on Twitter @HolliRancher.

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.
