The Struggle Bus Is Real

All of us have bad days – some of us are probably even having a rough day right now. This article is for you. These are some of the most common causes of feeling like you’re riding the struggle bus. Don’t worry. You’re not alone.

You continue to write ‘2016’ on all of your papers.

We’re already a month into 2017 and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve written 2016 on papers. It’s a small mistake but it’ll get you every time.

You repeatedly dress for the wrong weather.

Ohio weather is always unpredictable, but this winter has been something else. As soon as you get used to the rain, it gets super cold. Then two days later you’re wearing shorts. You keep having to go right back inside to change because of the drastic weather changes.

You can’t remember what day it is.

The days are blending together. Whether you show up at the wrong class or just can’t figure out the day in your head, you’re riding the struggle bus and should find some way to figure it out.

You misplaced your phone while it was in your hand.

Losing your phone is one of the toughest things to misplace – it has your whole life on it! Because losing your phone is an instant panic attack, sometimes you panic too early.

You opened the fridge and forgot what you went in there to get.

“Oh I was just coming in here to get the…” It’s incredibly easy to do when you’re multitasking.

You don’t remember where you parked your car.

If you use your car every day, you can get your days mixed up. This is the most time consuming struggle bus ride to finish because you might not be in the correct parking lot or on the correct street.

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.
