11 Ways My Life Has Had Absolutely Zero Chill Since Mercury Has Been In Retrograde

Starting on July 7th, Mercury has been in retrograde. If you know anything, you know that this means life is going to get a little crazy. This was multiplied by like 12,000 for me. It seems like since like July 7th life has been borderline unlivable. As a Leo, the stars seem to always have it out for me, but it took it to a whole new level. Here are just a few of the things I have had to go through thanks to this dumb rock moving weird.

1. Waking up like, at least 3 times a night

I don't think I have had more than like 5 good nights of sleep since the 7th, so I have been actually exhausted everyday, I can barely make it until my 2pm nap without dozing off.

2. My hair has been an absolute disaster

I have not been able to get my hair to look good in what feels like forever, but I did the math and it has actually only been since July 7th. Shocker. I mean, I got my haircut 2 months ago, and have even stopped shampooing and using any sort of product in it and it still looks greasy and flat. It is the actual worst.

3. My room has been soooooo messy

My room has been a pig-sty for weeks. Even when I take everything on the floor and push it into one corner, it still feels like a mess. There is just nothing I can do until Mercury gets its act together.

4. My friends keep canceling plans

I have had pretty big plans this summer, and usually they work out great, whenever I ask my friends if they want to get ice cream last minute they always say yes. But last week, I must have asked my friends if they wanted to go to Europe next month like TWICE, and it seems like nobody. is. down. It's like, why can't my life just be NORMAL.

6. My parents haven't been letting me do ANYTHING

So yesterday, I asked my mommy if I could go to Europe with some friends next month (hoping my friends might agree eventually), and she said no! Like, what? What the heck is my life even!!! She is absolutely insane, just let me LIVE.

7. My Airpods keep getting tangled in my pocket 

Need I say more?

8. My car keeps running out of gas. 

When I was away at school, I wouldn't have to full my car up for MONTHS, maybe like once or twice if I was home for a week. Now it's like, always empty. I keep having to stop by a gas station to put a dollars worth of gas in it and that will last me a day if I'm luck. WHAT IS MY LIFE.

9. I get hungry

So this thing has been happening to me recently where I will eat a fairly large meal, like a hard boiled egg or something like that. I should be full right, but every time I eat it's like 20 minutes later I feel the need to eat again. Granted, I am trying to lose a little weight, but I didn't know that that would require being mildly peckish for more than 5 minutes. Mercury, just move FOREWORDS already.

10. I broke both arms in my sleep

This art tickle took along thyme two right with voice-to-text not gun a lie ellipsis no type dot dot dot no ...

11. I didn't get a lot of tips at work once

I worked for like 3 straight hours at this golf course one day, like I always do, but I didn't get a lot of tips for some reason. AND on top of that it was pouring rain all day so I got wet when I walked to my car after they let me our early. Thanks MERCURY.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
