Some weeks finding something to write about is extremely hard and this week is one of those weeks. I have decided to make a post about something that I have found entertaining during the last couple of days: The Washington Post's Tumblr page. Most specifically their "Overheard at the Washington Post" section. So to my editor: please don't fire me, and here are a few of my favorite quotes and posts that have been overheard at one of America's biggest Newspapers.

Also, if the titles aren't really funny it's because I came up with them.

1. Napping like a champ

“Any room is a nap room if you try hard enough.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


2. The worst kind of letdown

“I walked into work feeling like Beyoncé. And then work started and I remembered I’m not Beyoncé, I’m Michelle.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


3. This post is amazeballs

“Can we use ‘amazeballs’ in a blog?”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


4. Someone can't see or listen anymore

“If I have to listen in on one more debate about Taylor and Kanye I think I might pull my ears off. Or my eyes.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


5. My new Twitter bio

“I’m used to awkward things. That’s like my whole life. Awkward things.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


6. When you get to not socialize for a day

“Today is the first day I’ve only wanted to punch someone once.”

7. When you've been online for too long

“How do you log off being alive?”

8. This! 100%

“I love takedowns of overhyped hipsterdom. I say this as someone who regularly gets tricked by hipster nonsense because I’m simple.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


9. Overheard at the Hogwarts Great Hall

“The Internet is a trash basilisk and you should never look directly into its eyes.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


10. Every college student ever

“I’m going to cry 1,000 tears about it when I have time later.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


11. Also every college student ever

“I’d be crying at my desk. Also, planning and working hard. Those usually go together.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


12. someone who spent too much time on Tumblr

"Journalist 1: Do you tweet on Twitter?

Journalist 2: Do you Instagram on Instagram?

Journalist 3: Do you Google on Google?"

13. Someone's worst day ever

“Coffee is not going to help today.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post

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.
