I'm tired of being tired

"The days just seem to get more and more tiring."

They really didn't teach you in high school that "adulting" would be hard, but most importantly, tiring. Yes, I am going to be doing a lot of complaining in this article.

I'm not sure about anyone else, but even with a good 7 hours of sleep, I am still tired.

I have lots of things going on in my life that are making me tired all the time. The constant anxiety and worrying doesn't help for starters. This likes to keep up for a good hour or two until I can actually fall asleep. Then I wake up all anxious and worrisome about what I need to do for the day.

My head also likes to worry about things that I have no control over. This ranges from global warming to the poor individuals on the street, to simple things like the way my eggs were made, etc. Yeah, I can do my part and my best in helping these situations but I can't solve EVERYTHING. Which drives me insane, and makes me tired. I just care too much I guess.

I'm tired of looking for jobs and not being able to figure out what I want. Constantly going on interviews and being denied jobs is horrible. Traveling is a lot too and the constant decline of your resume makes you sad, and tired.

I am tired of paying bills. THEY ARE SO EXPENSIVE. And why they didn't teach you how to pay taxes in high school is beyond me. I am also tired of getting paid s**t when I work so many hours! My bachelor's degree should not be equal to minimum wage.

I am tired of living with so many people in a household; it gets so crowded. Yes I know, I can move out. I AM TRYING. That requires a job which I can't get.

Oh yeah, that seven hours of sleep "I get" usually doesn't happen. It is rare. Maybe that is why I am tired, because I am tired from getting no sleep.

I am tired after working out and making plans. I am even too tired to work out and make plans with others when I go. I can't even go out to dinner without being tired. Of course, working out makes you tired, but WAY too tired. I am too tired in the morning to go, but I force myself.

I am tired of finding my path. I am starting classes soon which I am excited about but again, it's tiring getting ready for school. I am sure the tiredness will get worse when classes start.

Work is tiring, no doubt. This should be an obvious one. No one wants to work unless you find that job you love. But even that job you love can make you tired, but I guess in a good way.

So how does the constant tiredness stop? Do I just deal? Even when I relax I am too tired!

I guess I need to accept that although life is tiring, that is the beauty of it. We work hard and play hard, so we're tired. But it doesn't mean our days have to be ruined by tiredness.

We can overcome the stress and tiredness by truly taking time for ourselves to reflect and relax the right way.

I am determined to beat the tiredness!

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.
