Thoughts You Have When Hiking

"Are we there yet?"

Thoughts You Have When Hiking
Natalie

This past week I went hiking on Table Rock. It's located in Pickens, South Carolina. The total mileage of hiking up and back down is 6.8. If it was a straight walk it wouldn't be so hard, but I've heard it's the most strenuous in South Carolina. Even though the view at the top was amazing, the whole time I'm thinking "Is this really worth it?". Especially since this was my second time hiking Table Rock, even though the first time I said I was never doing it again. But any way, plenty of thoughts went through my head this time.

Are We Almost There?

You think your kids ask this a lot when riding in the car...think again!

Can We Take A Break?

This happens about every 5 minutes..

How Sore Am I Going To Be Later?

Considering you're already hurting now, in a day or two it'll only be worse.

Is It Time To Eat?

I always have food with me, so of course I packed snacks. Which during that hike, I had like four slim jims, a pack of nuts, a bag of homemade trail mix, a sandwich, and an Oreo chocolate candy bar.

Did I Bring Enough Water?

I packed three water bottles and that was just barely enough for me.

I Thought I was Fit

That hike proved me wrong!

What If There Is A Snake?

Thankfully I never saw one, but my mom (who was a little behind with a few others) did but also thankfully nothing happened.

This Better Be Worth It

In my opinion, the pictures I got were definitely worth it.

I'm Never Doing This Again!

Yet, this was my second time. And I said it both times, which means I'll probably be right back there again.

I Can't Wait Till This Is All Over!

The best part was when I finally got to sleep!

At Least There's Some Cool Things

I saw a turtle that decided to roll down the mountain and huge mushrooms, which when busted open, changed colors in the matter of five seconds.


How Far Down Is It If I Fall?

That was probably my biggest fear...slipping and falling to my death.


I was hurting so much but it was one of the greatest experiences and adventures of my life. So try hiking at least once in your life!

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.

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.
