A Letter To The Busy Spring Semester Of My Second Year

I know that I'm always busy, but can the semester get a little bit more manageable?

Dear Second Semester,

Please be easier.

After being in college for a year, I thought that I had it figured out and that my second year was going to be great. I was going to take classes that I liked and were relevant to what I wanted to do with my life. I joined new organizations; while they take up time in my schedule, I'm able to do things that I love.

Fall semester was rough, and I thought that it was because I needed to find a better way to divide my time and that I needed to adjust to my new schedule. I made it through the fall semester, and I was content with how I had spent my semester, and even though it seemed like a lot of work, I made it through, and I enjoyed what I had done.

At the start of the spring semester, I thought that this semester would be better. I knew that all of my classes would be reading based, but I like reading, so I thought that it would be fine. But the issue with readings for classes is that they're always articles and much longer than you expect.

Being a couple weeks into the semester, knowing that exams will be starting soon, I'm worried about how much time I have to get things done. The general feeling with my friends is that we all need an extra day of the week, a couple extra hours in each day to get everything done. I don't even mind being busy; I just would like to feel less like I don't have enough time to do the things that I need to do.

So second semester, please be just a little bit less stressful. I know that you're not going to be less busy, but that's okay because I'm using this time to do things that I love. But I'd really appreciate it if I could get through the semester and not feel like I need to take a week-long nap.

Last semester felt like I was just going through the motions to get to the end, but this semester I want to be able to look back and remember feeling an emotion other than stress. There are so many things that spring semester brings that I have to look forward too, and I don't want a rough start to distract from those things.

Here's to the hope that things get better. They don't even need to get easier; just more manageable.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
