You do not want to ditch.

Though Classes are Important...

...and skipping them should not even cross your mind, you cannot help but wonder "what if."

What if you skipped that class at 10 o'clock to sit outside and drink a coffee and just enjoy the morning? What if you sat down around campus and admire the view of the leaves changing color during this season?

Though classes are important, sometimes you need to take a breather and relax.

My classes this semester are pulling me downhill. With assignment after assignment, a breather is all I ever need. This is not including work, of course. With working 15 hours every week, not including when I have to come in for someone who cannot work that day, along with my homework, I need a break.

This semester alone, I have had eight anxiety attacks, and have had to miss class just because of these.

Though classes are important, so is health. So is relaxation. So is friendships, relationships. All of these thins are important. But sometimes, a girl just needs a break from it all. Sometimes drinking coffee and skipping class is not enough. Even though sitting and watching people walk around campus; watching them laugh at a funny text they got or at a funny joke their friend said to them. They are having a great day; they look like their life is together.

Though classes are important, you yourself are important too. Take a break if you need one. Your classes can wait. Your mental health cannot.

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.
