PDDD: The Le Moyne College Struggle

RIP Dolphy Day.

PDDD: The Le Moyne College Struggle
Jordan Reilley

PDDD... It's here and it's here to stay. Just in case you don't speak acronym, I'm talking about Post-Dolphy Day Depression, and if you go to Le Moyne College, there's a nine in 10 chance that you're feeling it right now. The sunburns have faded and so have the hangovers. Now we're all left with an OK tan, bags under our eyes, and the burning desire for the semester to just end already. So, are you suffering from PDDD? Check out these symptoms to self diagnose. P.S., this one's probably not on WebMD:

1. You feel the strong urge to day-drink...like, every day until the semester is over.

You'd be lying if you said that you didn't want to post up on a blanket in the quad and crack open a nice cold drink every time it's nice out.

2. You have lost all motivation to do any sort of schoolwork.

Now that it's over, professors want to punish you by giving you 6,000 assignments. And you want to punish yourself by procrastinating all of it.

3. You have a precise countdown until when your last final ends.

Only 19 days, 12 hours, 27 minutes and 45 seconds...but who's counting?

4. You have posted three-plus pictures on Insta because they're all too good to choose just one.

One with bae, one with the squad, and of course a cute selfie in the sun with your drink in hand. The world deserves to know that you had the best day ever.

5. You have a strange craving for those low-qual burgers and hot dogs.

They might not taste as good now as they did during Dolphy Day, but that doesn't mean you don't want more...plus, they're free, so no complaints.

6. You find yourself saying "but what if we just had a second Dolphy Day this year?"

NEW TRADITION, ANYONE? If only I was the wizard...

7. When you see someone's skin peeling from a sunburn, you literally feel their pain.

It's like you have this weird, sunburned bond now. Hey kid I sit next to in class, I know how it happened, bro, and it was well worth it.

8. You (and everyone else) have tweeted about how there's nothing to look forward to now that it's over.

But really though, you're not lying... It's all downhill from here. Until summer, that is.

9. You and your friends have been talking nonstop about what happened (or trying to put the pieces together).

Things might be a little blurry. (Did I like, steal someone's torch? DID I REALLY HOOK UP WITH THAT GUY?) But it's all a part of reliving the fun.

10. You look at your huge, duct-taped cup and cry a little.

It might still be sort of sticky, and in that case, maybe it's time to just throw it out. But really, even if it's empty, that smelly, taped-up, gallon-sized jug is actually full of memories.

11. You'll be counting down the seconds until the next one rolls around.

Unless you're a senior, in which case, good luck adulting and stuff. I'm sure as hell not ready for that.

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.
