A Reminder For When Your World Is Falling Apart

Something to remind myself.

read this when you're stressed

I promise you, it'll be worth it. It might not look like it now. You're constantly stressed out. Whether it be because of school or work. Or both.

Some days are harder than others. Some days are mediocre. And then you get those really good days that make it all worthwhile.

At the end of the day, it's all temporary.

Quite literally actually. The stress and constant need to do something or feeling like you should be doing something will go away eventually.

Plus, you have plenty of things to look forward to. For example, your days off. You always have two days off a week. If you're lucky, they sometimes land on a weekend and then you don't have any obligations. No school, no work.

Sure, they've become your "errand days," but they're better than nothing.

You have spring break coming up. After that, you have your one year anniversary and your 21st birthday.

And, before you know it, you'll be in your cute little cap and gown, receiving the bachelor's degree you worked so hard for.

It'll be summer soon. An actual summer. The beginning of my forever summer. Sure, you're going to be working most of it. But at least you won't have to stress about school come August.

Everyday is summer after you graduate (even if it doesn't always look like it).

So, yeah. It's okay to be stressed now. It's apart of human nature, and you'd quite literally explode if you didn't let yourself stress out every once in a while. Use the stress relieving techniques you've developed over time. Read, take a bubble bath, sleep. Take a day off. Take a break.

Just remember what you're working so hard for.

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.
