Wait, Where Has the Time Gone?

Wait, Where Has the Time Gone?

It is officially the end of June, and I am officially bummed.

Sure, July is great. You have the fourth which means fireworks, stuffing your face with food from the grill, and going to the lake. But other than it, it's just misery. 

It's hot all day long, every day of the week, you can't afford to go outside and get a sunburn because who knows how long it'll take to really turn into a tan. The pool is the only place to be but even the water is hot and if you don't own your own, it's going to be packed. The lake sounds fine and dandy, but then you have to find a boat and someone to drive you around all day long. You've quickly run out of days to work to save that money you've been talking about. And then there's the talk of the summer bucket list.

I know I haven't even begun mine besides one or two things, and I'm only talking reading a book I've been dying to read and finishing House on Netflix. I haven't gone to the lake, or Schlitterbahn, or skydiving. Haven't pulled a single all-nighter, gone to the zoo, or rewatched Gossip Girl, and I certainly haven't had a bonfire. There are so many other things I am required to do; go to work (although barely), go to my internship (once a week), and work on homework (basically my life). I know I have at least some free time, but where the heck is it all going?

I need to rethink some of my priorities and fast. With only six weeks left till I go back to KU (and I can't wait!), it's time to get down to business. I need to do my homework early, read my books quicker, and start tanning while I still can. 

It'll be a sad move in day at the house if while everyone is talking about the amazing things they did all summer, all I can say is, "oh, I worked and did homework. So basically it was just like school, only way hotter." 

If you're in the same boat as me, I am so sorry. But maybe it's time we get off our butts, and go out and accomplish your bucket list!

Being Invisible The Best Super Power

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:
