The 2nd Month Of College

My life is an organized mess.

The 2nd Month Of College

The 2nd month of college is equivalent to how I imagine sky-diving feels like. You are having a blast, but at the same time, you feel like you might have a mental breakdown and pass out at any point. Between midterms, freshmen 15, and a social life, we are all just trying to keep it together.

Freshman year is definitely an adjustment. It's only the second month of being in a totaly new environment, yet I feel like I've lived in the same dorm for about two years already. It's so weird to think about how different my life was just a couple of months ago. I already know I made some of my best friends for the rest of my life. Odds are me and my roommates will end up in the same elderly home 65 years from now together. Why is this starting to sound like a super cheesy old Full House episode? Moving on...

The second month of college really makes you realize how much you miss certain things at home. You aren't really "homesick", you just miss the stupid small stuff you always took for granted. You don't actually want to go home, you just wish certain things from home could be at school with you. For example, I really miss having chicken that was properly cooked. I didn't realize that chicken was such a big deal in my life until I came to college. I currently feel like a vegetarian, which is really not my type of thing (not hating on vegetarians, I just like bacon a little too much). Another thing you begin to get annoyed with during this month is the bathrooms. Who supplies the toilet paper around here? Clearly not someone with a good soul.

As Kylie Jenner would say, "This is the year of just realizing stuff". Now replace "year" with "month". Bravo Kylie, you are describing my life right now, you go girl. During October, you realize who your friend groups are, if the kid who sits next to you is creepy or flirty, and just overall if you are overall happy or not. If you aren't happy, make some changes because this is supposed to be the "best years of your life". I was also told that saying was about high school but whoever said that about high school probably never made it to college.

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.
