Weekday Morning Conversations with Yourself

Good morning, Chicago. I can't wait to freeze today.

Weekday Morning Conversations with Yourself
Google

It is the inevitable Monday morning. Scratch that. It is the inevitable weekday morning. I-90 is whispering to you good morning, with it's sweet sound of honking horns and sirens. You know it's less than 30 degrees outside, because well, you live in Chicago and that is that way it goes from November-April. Late March if you're lucky. Soon enough, you have realized your bed is the only thing worth value. Your bed is your best friend, the keeper of warmth and the inhabiter of procrastination.

If this is the case, your morning conversations might go a little something like this-

"5 more minutes, I will close my eyes just five more minutes. I promise." Wakes up 15 minutes later.

"How many days of class have I already missed? I better check all 5 syllabus to see how many classes I can skip before it affects my grade.

"Do I feel a little sick today? Headache, stomach ache? I do feel a little nauseous."

"Is it cold enough for class to be cancelled?" Checks the school's website.

30 minutes till class. "Well I guess it's now or never."

Gets up. "I already want to lay back down."

Puts on leggings, boots, two sweatshirts, scarf and coat (that I wear everyday). "Yup, I look great. I don't need gloves, gloves are a hassle."

"I should eat breakfast. No, it's ok. Coffee will do."

"I will brush my teeth though."

Looks down at phone battery- 35%. "This is going to be a great day."

Walks outside. "You've got to be kidding me."

"I want to pull out my phone and change the song but it's too cold. I should have worn gloves."

"There is no one even on the sidewalks. I bet everyone else stayed home. Oh, never mind. There is a guy up ahead. Is that really all he is wearing? Where is his winter parka? He must be freezing."

"Why do I live in Chicago? I should move."

"I think I will get soup for lunch. Soup sounds good."

Checks nearest Panera location. "Nix soup. Too cold to try to get to Panera. Ramen it is."

"Why did I skip breakfast? I am starving. I am going to go hungry."

"How many hours till I get to lay back in bed? The things I would do to lay in my bed and watch Netflix right now."

"Should I turn around? Will I really miss that much? I could text that one classmate and ask them to send me notes."

Swipes CTA pass. "Well this is it. Guess I am really going to do this. School, here I come."

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.
