Whatever you're doing can't be more important than these things unless you're performing surgery, but if you're reading this while performing surgery then I think you have some bigger problems to deal with.

1. Drink water

Giphy

If your pee isn't clear then you're not drinking enough water (just kidding- I'm no doctor so I have no clue if that's true)! But seriously, if you're a college student or working full time then I'm like 99% sure that you're dehydrated. Don't have any clean cups? Well then go wash one like the adult that you are! Stop making excuses and hydrate, I promise it's not that hard.

2. Eat a real meal

Giphy

A handful of cereal and some crackers doesn't count, and neither does 2 pieces of chocolate and some Pringles, you psychopath. Nobody can do their best work, creative or academic, on an empty stomach, so go find a vegetable or some protein because I know your ass isn't going to the gym so the least you can do is feed yourself routinely. You don't have to be a master chef make a good meal and the internet provides plenty of options too choose from.

3. Take a minute to breathe

Giphy

Stress is just as bad as dehydration or a lack of sleep, so don't forget to take a minute to breathe every now and again. And I mean some deep breaths, not whatever half-assed bullshit you've been doing all day. These breaths are meant to help clear your mind, not keep you in the same funk that you've been in since Monday morning. I know you've heard it before: in through the nose and out through the mouth.

4. Let out your pet

Giphy

If you can't remember the last time that you let your cat/dog/iguana out for a bathroom break then this is your daily reminder to do so. It's not their fault that you were too distracted watching Charlie D'Amelio do the WAP dance to remember to let them out. Also, while you're at it, you should probably go to the bathroom and get some fresh air too (and for everyone's sake, please make sure those are mutually exclusive).

5. Charge your phone

Giphy

I'm not your mom so I'm not going to tell you to take a break from your phone (since that's almost impossible during this pandemic anyways), but at the very least make sure your phone is charged!!! Mine died the other day and was out of power for about 6 minutes, during which my mother called and texted me like 12 times before assuming I was dead so PLEASE do everyone a favor and make sure you can be reached at all times.

Here are five undebatable things you need to do NOW.

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

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Student Life

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.

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.
