The benefits of living a chaotic life

I don’t think I can make it through a day without my agenda. My daily routine consists of me following the pre-made schedule that I crafted the night before. I know many of you cannot comprehend this statement, but it’s all I can to do get a sense of order in my chaotic life. Often times, I question if I’m even human. I swear I’m equivalent to an energizer bunny. I tend to have a full work load through school, dance team coaching, dance clubs, babysitting, hanging out with friends and the occasional nursery and hostess shifts sprinkled here and there. In essence, there is nothing I love more than being busy.

Obviously it is nice to have a “chill day” here and there but when I have a consistent schedule of absolutely nothing I begin to feel a sense of imbalance in my life. The constant structure of my schedule provides me with the ability to stay on task, be involved and stay attentive. I’ve been living this lifestyle for as long as i can remember. The constant go-go-go approach is pretty much what I’m used to.

Though my lack in sleep can take its toll, I like to consider the fact that (for the most part), I’m doing something remotely productive with my time. With this, many think I’m crazy for constantly involving myself in so many different commitments however, I’m doing these things for me. Yes, I know this sounds pretty self centered, but I choose to do these things in order to gain a stronger sense for who I am and what I value most in my life. I love to be involved and to feel like I’m doing something positive to benefit myself. Obviously overtime my responsibilities begin to pile up however, the degree in passion that I put towards each action only makes everything so much worth it.

I’m not advising you to over book yourself, I am working to persuade you to get involved with activities that you genuinely enjoy. Do what stimulates your mind. Do what develops your being. Do what will benefit you in the long run in any instance.

*I am capable of taking on the world. I am one who puts their passions first. I am aware of my capabilities and contributions to the environment surrounding and together I can work to share my interests in a positive and orderly fashion.*

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.
