You wake up in a cold sweat. You’re shaking. You’re raking your brain to see if you did anything you’ll regret last night (and you probably did). This overwhelming sense of dread is the "Sunday Scaries." You wasted an entire weekend drinking and then it hits you that real life starts tomorrow.

Urban Dictionary defines Sunday Scaries, “The feeling you have after a long week of work followed by a Saturday full of binge drinking, when Sunday hits you question your entire existence. Typically characterized by laying in bed all day and both regretting past decisions and questioning your seemingly non-existent future.”

Sounds about right.

Here are seven simple fixes for when the Sunday Scaries hit you.

1. SLEEP

Take a nap. It’s a nice way to calm yourself down and catch up on some of the sleep you definitely missed this weekend

2. Don’t leave all your homework, grocery shopping, cleaning, work, etc. for Sunday.

If you don’t rely on Sunday as your catch-up day, you can use it as a Netlfix binge day and not feel guilty.

3. Get out of the house.

Go for a hike, walk your dog, or even just going for a jog can be a good way to get your mind off the impending doom that is Monday.

4. Take a break from social media.

If you’re embarrassed about what you did on someone’s Snapchat story, or have FOMO about what your friends were doing this weekend, social media is not going to help you get your mind right when you’re preparing for the upcoming week.

5.Eat your favorite food.

There is nothing that takeout Pad Thai can’t fix.

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.
