8 Things I'm Looking Forward To When I Return To Missouri State University

9. Unironically shouting "Bear Up!" after nearly every sentence

I've found myself in a big slump right now. I feel as though I am Bill Murray in the movie "Groundhog Day" and constantly reliving the same day over again. I wake up and eat the same breakfast and drink the same coffee. I attend my online classes and then struggle to keep my head above water as I'm flooded with assignments and exams. One of the few things keeping my spirits up right now is the thought of returning to campus in the fall. There are so many exciting things coming up this semester to look forward to that allow me to maintain hope for the future.

People watching

One of the first things I plan to do when I have free time next semester is to get a big Starbucks drink from the PSU and people watch. I've been in quarantine for 44 days now and haven't had contact with anyone other than my family. Quite frankly, I miss just seeing other people and watching them interact. Oh! Squirrel watching is also a fun time as well.

Playing in the Hammons Fountain

Giphy

I'm a sucker for a good fountain. As a matter of fact, Hammons Fountain (and the fact that we are allowed to play in it) played a large role in my decision to go to Missouri State. I can't wait until I get to spend a warm summer afternoon splashing around in the fountain with my friends while listening to the carillon bells chime.

Tailgating

Giphy

I suffered from some serious FOMO my freshman year. I was a member of the marching band so I was required to perform at the home football games. I saw my friends posting all over social media about the freebies they would get or the people they'd meet (i.e. alumni Clay Harbor) while tailgating. I can't wait to actually get the chance to enjoy a football tailgate this semester.

Living in my sorority house

I am lucky enough to get the opportunity to live with my sorority sisters in the chapter house this upcoming semester. I'm so excited to go on late night adventures with some of my best friends!

Recruitment and welcoming home a new pledge class

Giphy

I'm looking forward to chatting with PNMs and helping the find their new home. I'm even more excited to celebrate and welcome our new members on bid day!

Getting my little

Giphy

I could not possibly put into words how excited I am to get my little this next semester. I may or may not have already started on her basket. I cannot wait to add a new member to my family and to have a little I can guide and shower with endless love.

Interesting classes and a chance to learn something new

Giphy

This upcoming semester I get to take several classes that count towards my theatre major and are incredibly interesting. Such as an acting class taught by Professor Lisa Brescia who is a seasoned Broadway performer. I'm also looking forward to getting to learn about the technical aspect of theatre this upcoming semester as well.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
