The Week After

The first week of summer brought to you by "The Office."

16
The Week After

You made it through final papers, projects and exams. Through packing up, moving out and goodbyes to all your friends. You managed the trip back home, all the while reminiscing about all the fond memories made that year. You can't believe how quickly it went by and how much you are going to miss being in your college town, but you still can't wait to be home. You anticipate hugs from your mom, snuggles with your pet and blissful hours lounging around watching Netflix or soaking up the sun outside before starting the world of internships and summer jobs.

Here's the first week of summer brought to you by The Office.

When you first get home and your mom attacks you with that hug she's been waiting to give you since you left Christmas break:

When you establish to your family your goals for the summer:

When you realize just how weird your family has gotten since the last time you left:

When your parents try to reimpose the curfew you had in high school:

When those annoying birds outside your window won't stop chirping at seven in the morning, disrupting your much-needed hibernation:

And when your parents try to pull you out of bed so you will actually do something productive:

When you find a new show on Netflix to binge-watch for the summer:

When your mom asks if you want her to make you lunch, and you're just like:

When you have to pick up your younger sibling because they had too much to drink at their high school party, and you feel like they are way too young for that:

When you look at your pet while you're both sprawled out on the couch and just think:

When you have to get up early to go to all those appointments you had been putting off since you went home for Christmas break:

When you catch up on all the neighborhood gossip you were missing out on:

When your friend already has a summer romance lined up and you're just like:

When your parents ask why your grades weren't as good as they were last semester, and you don't want to tell them the truth (i.e. a combination of laziness and partying), so you just play dumb:

When you lay out for the first time thinking you're gonna get that beach goddess glow, but instead turn lobster red:

When you think about how long and hard that internship or job you start next week is going to be:

HAGS, y'all!

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.
