Deadlines sneak up on us. Finals loom over us. Students everywhere feel the pressure that always comes with the end of the semester. You can almost see the nights where you'll forgo sleep to catch up on last minute assignments.

I know as a college student, I'm definitely going to have my fair share of all-nighters in the next few weeks. These all-nighters aren't my first, but they're definitely not my last either.

Here are the many thoughts I have whenever I pull an all-nighter.


1. 10:00 p.m.

“OK, I’ve put this off for days and it’s due tomorrow. Need to get started ...”

*Five seconds of contemplation later*

“... but one more cat video never killed anyone.”



2. 11:00 p.m.

“Did I really just watch an hour of cat videos?”

*Checks time*

“Dear God, what have I done? I really need to start.”


3. 12:00 a.m.

“I think I’m making good time. Super focused now. If I keep going at this pace, I might be able to finish by 4, maybe 5?”

*Loses focus*

*Checks facebook and twitter*


4. 1:00 a.m.

*Surprisingly focused for an hour*

*1:58 a.m.*

“I worked hard for an hour. I deserve to post about this.”

*Insert snapchat post bragging about how productive I am*

5. 2:00 a.m.

“I’m gonna take a short break.”

*More cat videos*


6. 3:00 a.m.

“I can afford a quick 10-minute nap.”

*Passes out*


7. 4:00 a.m.

*Wakes up*

“How long was I out for?”

*Checks time*

“OH NO!”

*Panics*

“I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus.”

*Actually works really hard*



8. 5:00 a.m.

*Insert another snapchat post about how tired I am*

“Almost done. Home stretch!”


9. 6:00 a.m.

*Sun rises*

*Singing off-tune* “Here comes the sun.”


10. 7:00 a.m.

*Alarm goes off*

*Presses "submit" button*

*Vows to be more responsible and never pull an all-nighter again*

*Rinse and repeat*

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.
