She's how you feel. You might as well stop trying to fight it.

The Second Semester Struggle As Told By Lucille Bluth
Campus Riot

It's right around this time of year that things might be getting rough for some of us. We haven't seen the sun anymore, we lost what little patience we had for studying around the beginning of February, and you may feel like your social life has slipped into a rut. You might be feeling like a bit of a grouch, or maybe even worse, like a bit of a Lucille Bluth, a character who is the very epitome of the cynical apathy that the months of January through March bring out in all of us.

1. When your professor asks you about the reading you've long since been blowing off.

2. Remembering that spring break is right around the corner.

3. And then also realizing that your college years (aka the prime of your life) are slipping away and before you know it you're gonna be a real adult in the real world.

4. Dancing at parties and forgetting to care if you look cool or more like an ostrich having a seizure.

5. Then going to class the next morning like an ostrich that got run over by a car because daily showers are for people who care.

6. The look you give your parents when they ask you what you're doing for the summer in a tone that suggests you're not supposed to spend it with your good friends, Netflix and ice cream.

7. Insisting to your friends that you didn't cheat on your business ethics test.

8. Completely losing the motivation to go to the dining hall for food and settling for a subpar meal of PB&J in bed.

9. When your friend makes the absurd suggestion that you should try to get your lives together and maybe go to the library instead of starting a third hour of "The Bachelor."

10. Scoffing at your mom's suggestion that it's time to scale back on going out.

11. Actually realizing that your mom was right and you hate people so it's time to become a hermit.

12. Getting bored enough in a week to forget about being a hermit.

13. Watching people, who aren't smart enough to figure out that nothing really matters anymore, stress about school and work and their social lives.

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.
