I Have No Idea Where This Semester Went But I'm Not Even Mad

Wasn't it syllabus week like a month ago?

It seems like just a few weeks ago, I was packing up my Christmas presents and heading back to campus for another spring semester. Now it's finals week and I really have no idea where this semester went...but to be completely honest, I'm not even mad.

Maybe it's just me, but this entire semester went by in a blur. We came back and syllabus week seemed to last maybe two days. From there, we went through snow storm after snow storm, and began going through the motions of just another semester. Classes were as mundane as always and that could easily be to blame for this crazy-fast semester.

We're also yet to experience warm weather for more than two days in a row. By now, we're typically in shorts and flip-flops every day, soaking up what little bits of sun we can in our hammocks in the quad. Instead, I'm still wearing a coat to class and getting some serious wind-blown hair. This is probably the reason why I'm yet to accept the fact that the semester's ending is literally just a few days away.

Usually I'd be upset about a semester ending so fast because to be completely honest, I love college. I love the independence and freedom that comes along with it, and I actually enjoy learning! However, this past semester was just so weird and honestly unenjoyable, making me perfectly content with the thought of packing up all my things and heading back home. Even if this feeling might fade a month or so in, I'm actually pretty excited to head back home.

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.
