Life can keep us busy a lot of times. It can give us a few moments where we have free time and we may not know what to do.

Here are several things to do in your free time:

1. Sleep


This may be one of the best and most important things you can do. When you get more rest, you feel and perform better.

2. Relax

Whether it is work, school, or other priorities, relaxing helps to take the stress away. Some things you can do are get a massage, meditate, or sit outside (if weather permits).

3. Exercise

Most of us say we are going to exercise, but end up doing something else. Go for a quick run around the track or neighborhood.

4. Spend time with Family and Friends

Sometimes we are so busy that we never have time to see those close to us. Go out to eat and hang with your friends to catch up. See that family member who always are asking about you and want you to visit.

5. Catch up on Work

This may not be as popular, but if you have other work to do and do not want to procrastinate about it, get caught up on it.

6. Cook

You may not have time to cook your favorite meal because it is either too time consuming or you are always on the go. Cook and enjoy your favorite meal since you have the time.

7. Clean

This also may not be a popular option, but there is something that always needs cleaning. Whether it is doing laundry, dusting or mopping, it always makes things look great and smell better.

8. Apply for Jobs/Internships

You probably are looking for another job or internship for various reasons. You can get a head start on it and hopefully, you get the opportunity or promotion.

9. Shopping

If you have the funds, treat yourself to things that you want. You deserve it! Do not go overboard!

10. Volunteer

If you are bored but want to do something productive and helpful, try volunteering at your local church, food pantry, or any place of your choice. There is nothing like being helpful especially when it comes from the heart.

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.
