WHAT THE HELL!? We had a plan!

This Is What Your Body Is Telling You By The Second Week of The Semester
The Mighty

When we go on break, we tell ourselves that our bodies need breaks so we can be refreshed for the next semester. So we sleep in every single day because we never get that sleep during the semester. We eat whatever we want because we try to eat healthy all the time while we are at school. We say the week before we will try to get back on schedule so we are prepared for the semester! Except we do none of that because the break sneaks up on us and we are dying by the second week of the semester! I wonder what our bodies could actually be saying to us by this time? You know what, I will take a wild guess what they could be saying due to forcing our bodies into the harsh world we call college.

Dear whomever this body belongs to,

WHAT THE HELL!? We had a plan! The brain literally us told that we needed to prepare for this! Yes at this point I was telling you to not worry about it because I told you that we had more time or just that I was very sleepy. I also told you I wanted more sleep because you put me through hell so I wanted to be pampered from head to toe!

So I will take partial blame for this, but like really what did you do to me!? I was sleeping in until probably 10-12 and now I am waking up at 8 or 9!? Do you see how HORRIBLE that sounds for me? I understood for the first week because we had to jump back into it, but wait that was not the only thing you did to me! You put me through PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES that you did not prepare for me! You did not do any of that over the break! The most you probably did was go to the kitchen to make food or walk to the bathroom! I cried at you for a couple of days because you did not warn me about what was to come!

FEED ME! Did you read that correctly? Please do not just feed me junk food or the same bubbly, carbonated stuff you know won't help you through your long day! I need 3 meals a day at a MINIMUM! I don't care if you get all the food groups in or not: I just want meat or protein, and everything that gives me energy! Protein shakes sound just fine as long as it has what it needs to make it a meal and just not because it taste good in milk or water. I am your growing body no matter how much damage you have caused me so far. YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF ME!

I appreciate what you have done so far, but we have until May to get through this and you need to do better!

Sincerely,

Your Body

Well I mean I am sorry body and I will try to do better! I like sleep a lot and thought that is what you wanted...I guess not! So to everyone else who is dragging in their second week, listen to what your body is telling you! We only have one and if we do not take care of it we may not one and who doesn't love their body?

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.
