The Back To School Pep Talk
Hannah Tamul

Let's face it..

School is about to start back up and you probably haven't done a single thing to even prepare. Well maybe you did get your first day of school outfit or those new pair of shoes you want to roll up in.

We've spent the past 3 months laying in the sun, hanging out w friends, and going on adventures. You tried to push the thought of school creeping up around the corner out of your mind.

How can we prepare ourselves for the next year? It is time to learn the importance of accepting this.

You've gone through this over and over. So how do you tell yourself you got this!!

Well it is quite easy...

Prepare yourself: Get your shi*t right now! GO NOW!! I've learned the very hard way that if you come unprepared you my friend will not be getting that letter of recommendation you NEED. School supplies are always a necessity. Like your textbook that will get you an A in the class.

Make friends, I know it may be hard to get to know strangers in your class but that is how you will succeed. If you don't want to go to class the next day feel free to ask that guy that you've been sitting next to to give you all the details.

I am of the fortunate few who enjoys being at school, yes it can be very boring but also in college you get time to learn about what you want when you want it. Make the best of it.

So get excited! Let yourself enjoy the place that can honestly keep your mind off the other things going on in your life.

The first day of school is always the hardest.

Start the day with a bomb outfit and a great pep talk. Look yourself in the mirror, these sixteen weeks are going to fly by, you will kick a#!, you are great, and nobody can stop you. You look amazing.

As my mother likes to say treat yo self. Get something special on the way to the first day of school. I like to treat myself to a Dunkin Donut coffee and some of their amazing hash browns. Rewarding yourself can make the day feel like it is going smoother than you think.

Late to class because you can't find it? Don't sweat it! Teachers can be very understanding since they go through the same thing as you. They don't always know where their going. Eventually you'll find it.

Try not to get scheduled for work on the first day of classes, You definitely don't want to have to worry about going from a stressful environment to another one. It is best to give yourself time to relax.

Overall, just know that eventually you will get in the swing of things as soon as it to be over again. Don't sweat the small stuff. Try harder and harder. Life isn't easy and neither is school but with the right boost of confidence you should be able to conquer it! Best of luck my friends!!

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.
