Recently I Looked Around My Life And Realized That I Am So Extra
Estée Janssens

Being extra is actually something I pride myself on being. I mean, who else do you know who has four different calendars that all basically say the same thing? I don’t even remember who it started but I would totally use the adjective of ‘extra’ to describe myself, and here’s why.

1. Having multiple calendars

Yes, you read that right earlier. I do have four different calendars, and they all basically say the same thing. I have one on my phone that helps me keep up with important dates, appointments, and what my family is doing. Then I have a calendar that sits on my wall, and I put big dates and assignments on there, but I mostly just have it for an aesthetic and to look at the cute pictures of Disney World. Then I have my agenda where I write down all my assignments, important birthdays, and events. The last one I have is just a standard printed calendar I just printed out from Google. I usually only use this one during the summer when my life just gets too crazy and I need it to be laid out and easy to just glance out. I know right.

2. Color Coordinated Shirts

The t-shirts in my closet are color coordinated. I keep all the black clothes on one side, and then it goes from darkest to lightest until it gets to the white ones. It’s not perfect yet because I haven’t messed around with the different shades of some of the colors like blue for instance, but it is getting there.

3. Keeping my fan on high all year round

I don’t care if it is the middle of December or the hottest day of the whole summer, my fan is staying on high all year. I think I just like the noise and the circulation but in my book, I can always put on a sweatshirt or get a blanket if I get cold.

4. Air Freshener Backups

In my room, I have one of those plug in Air Fresheners from Bath and Body Works and I have probably about six or seven backups for it at all times. It’s honestly not my fault because legitimately every time I go to the store they are having a sale, so it’s probably cheaper than just buying like two at a time.

5. Keeping my phone plugged in.

I am totally one of those people that cannot function if my phone dies on me. If I am sitting down at my computer for long periods of time I make sure to bring my charger and plug it in. I honestly get anxious if the battery drops below 70%. And yes, I do love to keep it on low power mode always.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
