A Tale Of Two Weeks Of Dieting
http://cosmic-fitness.com/dont-let-the-scale-define-you/

Two weeks ago, someone on the radio asked me if I had made any questionable choices over the weekend ... why yes I had. No, I didn't "party too hard" or "get too turnt," I signed up for Weight Watchers.

Day 1: This really isn't so bad ... (40 minutes later) just kidding.

Day 2: What about all those songs about having a little junk in your trunk? Can I live my life by those instead?

Day 3: It's been three days and my stomach is still as white and doughy as a biscuit in a Pillsbury can. When do I get a six pack? And by six pack I mean a six pack of Coke because I hate drinking this much water.

Day 4: Dear Lord, lead me not into temptation but deliver me from cheese.

Day 5: I've been seeing things. Last night I'm pretty positive a bag of Dorito's came and stroked my hair as I slept.

Day 6: If one more person on a morning talk show tries to tell me it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle, I will pull my hair out. (Which actually may be beneficial because it could potentially make me weigh less.)

Day 7: Send help, I just ate an apple as a snack.

Day 8: I day dream about being lightly toasted and snuggled between two pieces of bread.

Day 9: Is it just me or is Weight Watcher's disdain and disapproval seeping through the app as I type in my ridiculously high food intake.

Day 10: I thought maybe having a summer internship would turn me into one of those business women from romantic comedies who don't have time to eat anything other than Power Bars as they shift from meeting, to conference call, to thinking about that guy they met in the coffee shop. Well ... spoiler alert ... it didn't.

Day 11: I find myself singing those female power anthems about how "you don't own me" to food. But the next minute I'm singing those "I can't live without you" Taylor Swift songs.

Day 12: I want to soak in a vat of the processed cheese they serve with chips at baseball games.

Day 13: Can people see that I'm dying inside if they stare directly into my eyes?

Day 14: Wait ... there's not a real person on the other side of my Weight Watcher's app checking to make sure I don't go over my daily calorie intake? In that case, I quit.

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.
