What Happens When You Have the Day Off

The perfect time to relax and catch up with friends

It is a blessing when you finally have the day off from your many jobs that you have this summer. It is the perfect opportunity to take a break out of your busy schedule to remember that you are still a human being. For at least a day, you don’t have to deal with bipolar customers or answer any phones from companies. I think that many of us will agree with these things that we tend to do when you finally have the day off.

Sleeping in

Now is the perfect chance to catch up on the sleep that you don’t have. You don’t remember the last time that you slept in so it may come as a shock to you. Unfortunately, your body might not be used to sleeping in until 12 p.m. like you used to so instead you find yourself waking up at 7 or 8 a.m. when trying to sleep in. Just lying in bed for a couple of hours is worth it at least.

Binge watching shows

Since you never really found the time, now you can watch the shows that you missed or have been waiting to see. You can finally catch up on the "Game of Thrones" episodes you missed even though it has already been spoiled for you many times on social media. You can also watch the new season of "Orange is the New Black" and make it a whole day event.

Eat decent food

Instead of being starving at your job and watching the clock until it is finally break or lunch time, you can now eat whenever you want. This means endless Dunkin runs and being able go to restaurants for lunch or dinner. My favorite food is usually breakfast foods so going out for breakfast is the best way to start off your day when your off from work.

Hang out with friends

Did you forget that you have a social life? This usually happens when you become a workaholic. Now you finally have the chance to catch up with your friends and seeing if anything interesting happened while you were gone. It’s always good to see your friends cause they will always keep you grounded and sane in your life.

Stay up late

You don’t have work the next day so there is no need to set the ten million alarms on your phone! You don’t have to worry about getting up early by attempting to go to bed early. Instead you can stay up as late as you want like the rebel you are. However, I usually get excited about staying up late but end up going to sleep early anyway.

Enjoying summer

Summer will not last forever so it is important that you enjoy it while it lasts. Even though it may not be easy working a lot during the summer, it will pay off with the money you make which will be all spent on your days off and vacations. Enjoy your days off and enjoy your summer!

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.
