Audible Keeps My Hunger For Knowledge Alive

"There are not enough hours in the day" is a saying you'll hear me say quite often. I'm that gal with the ambition to accomplish a hundred things in one day. Maybe a tad unrealistic, but some days I get pretty dang close to doing so! Other days, not so much...

When I do get a moment to myself, I find it extremely difficult to fit in reading. Because, let's be honest, once you get some downtime from a long day of work, all you wanna do is relax, eat, or sleep.

However, if you think about it, we are constantly listening. Why not optimize your downtime with Audible?

Audible has been my go-to for reading. I may not be actually reading, but I am still obtaining very useful information. What I enjoy most about audible is that I can take it anywhere with me.

You can take Audible with you on your daily commute to work. I know I spend at least an hour in my car going to and from work. If you do the math, that is basically an hour every day for 5 days a week. Think about how many books you can listen to in a matter of a month, let alone a year. That's a lot!

Nowadays, it's harder to dedicate the time to sit down and read. Audible allows you to multitask and fit reading into your schedule instead of you allocating time for it.

One of my favorite times to listen to Audible is at the gym. There's always a time to listen to music to get a good pump in or give you that adrenaline rush to push yourself past your limit. Yet, Audible is perfect to fit into your gym regimen. I listen to Audible when I'm doing cardio. Sure, I could easily be jamming out to Halsey's "Without Me" on loop or dedicating my time to my slightly unhealthy obsession of watching "Say Yes To The Dress," but I also have the option to listen to a self-help book on Audible that has the potential to impact my life tremendously.

I say give Audible a try. You'll realize how much easier it is to just pop your headphones in and listen to the soothing voice of an Audible narrator. If you're anything like me, you'll find yourself nodding to yourself in deep reflection, maybe a sigh of relief escapes past your lips because you feel reassured that you're not alone in your feelings, or you may be so enlightened by the information you've obtained that it becomes a conversation starter with others.

The bottom line is that we should always be striving to learn more. Education doesn't just stop. We must make a concerted effort to learn more about ourselves, our surroundings, the workforce, and more. This will ultimately enhance our performance in life. We may not have all the time in the world, but with Audible, we can fit in learning in places we'd least expect.

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.
