Thoughts You Will Have The First Week Of Classes

The first week of classes. It can be the best of times and the worst of times. Sometimes you'll get lucky and all your professors will only go over the syllabus the first day. And then sometimes they'll assign assignments that are due the first week. You might be a little nervous just take a deep breath this week is over before you know it. Here's some thoughts you probably will have this week:


1. When the teacher says the textbook is required.

I really have to pay $50 or more for a book I'm gonna use once? I don't think so I'll just take really good notes. I heard we do not even need the book anyway.


2. When your professor asks you to introduce yourself and share a interesting fact about yourself.

Wait what is my name? Oh my gosh I don't know an interesting fact about myself all I do is sleep and eat! I am totally not prepared for this. What did I do this summer?


3. When the professor finishes going over the syllabus early and starts teaching actual material on the first day.

This is just wrong like who do they think they are? I am not mentally prepared for this! I didn't even bring a pencil or paper, come to think about it I don't even think I brought my brain!


4. When you're running late to class and it's the first day.

I am only a minute late I doubt they started yet. But what if there's no seats left? I am totally going to have to sit in the front now. Crap...


5. When you have nothing to wear.

This makes me look like a hobo. I have to look cute but not too cute, I don't want to look like I tried too much. That's it I am not going.


6. When you just really want it to be Friday already.

Is it Friday yet? I really need it to be the weekend already. My brain has absorbed way too much information this week.


7. When you have an hour or more break between classes.

What am I going to do with all this time? Wonder if anyone else is out of class? Well I guess I have time to get some coffee and creep on people in the university center or I could take a quick nap.


8. When you can't find your classroom.

I have no clue where I am, did they remodel this building cause I am pretty sure it never had this many rooms. I am going to be late looking for this stupid room. That is an acceptable excuse right?


9. When people in front of you walk super slow.

OMG! They walk so slow, I seriously want to stab them. How can they not be in a hurry too? They must be freshmen...


10. when you finally complete the first week of classes.

Give yourself a pat on the back you made it through the first week with only a few breakdowns and thoughts of dropping out to a stripper.

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.
