Things I Did Over Spring Break Instead Of My Homework

And no, it didn't look anything like this picture. Or anything else resembling a beach, or spring, for that matter.

Things I Did Over Spring Break Instead Of My Homework

Well, for weeks before the beginning of spring break, I saw the mountain of work that was piling up for me for the end of the semester- but, I told myself, I was not, NOT, going to procrastinate. Spring break was to be a week devoted to studying, examining scholarly sources, reading Descartes’ Meditations on First Philosophy, cleaning, and just getting my life together in general.

That, unfortunately, did not happen. Here is what happened instead.

I slept. A lot.

Like, I don’t even want to disclose how many hours were spent sleeping, or just lying under the covers. It’s embarrassing.

I ate. Also a lot.

This past week was supposed to be a cleanse, but it ended up being kind of the opposite- my body is, at this point, pretty much at capacity for crappy foods in ridiculous quantities.

I got a little drunk.

You know how it is…it starts with a Sunday brunch, and then you go to one bar, and then go visit a friend at another. And then the day is over, and you wake up with the type of hangover you thought you’d outgrown when you were sixteen.

I suffered from a mid-break crisis.

After two days of doing absolutely nothing, I started overthinking everything. What is my life? Am I ever going to make it as a journalist? Am I going to amount to anything? What happens at the end of LOST???

I recovered from said crisis.


In this case, all I really had to do was put on a pair of pants. And then go to Costco. Did I really need that giant bag of dried seaweed? Absolutely I did *crunch*.

I worked out.

Hah! Just kidding.

I procrastinated.

I left all of my work for the Sunday before the second half of the semester started. But hey, it’s done now…and that’s what college is all about, right?

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.
