I Have An Alter Ego, Do You?

Do you have an alter ego?

I Have An Alter Ego, Do You?

So, it's Wednesday. Odyssey article deadline day. It's time to deal with the impending paranoia of coming up with an article on a whim because I have nothing better to do on my off time.

I'll be sure to put everything on hold so I can get this article done. I didn't want to check off that to-do list since I guess I only have one priority.

My mental instability has struck new levels these days, but despite this, I still manage to submit an article which is of higher importance than my stability as a human being.

I suppose that you think that I just sit home waiting for the day to end. Well, you are wrong. I also wait to submit my article.

I mean, I do have the chance to go out, but I can't because I have to submit my article. I'll just go out tomorrow when it's raining. After all, it's one day closer to creating my next article.

I'll be sure to make this deadline because I've already put everything else on hold. One day I'll have free time, but I guess that today isn't that day.

After all, deadlines over stability, right?

If my editor-in-chief and my readers are in shock, this was a surprise attack by my alter ego, Betty.

My original article was titled "Nature And It's Loveliness."

Oh, good now that I thought I had this all finished, now I'm 60 words short, and let me see if I can try to go further into my original idea of nature. Nature. It's lovely. A storm, some sun, another storm comes. My roof is covered in leaves, and it has to be cleaned up, but not before my deadline of course.

I did it! One extra word to make my minimum word count. Oh glory, I can now look forward to the rainy day tomorrow that I can try to appreciate the underlying thought of my next article.

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
