When The Day Just Flies By, Don't Forget Your You Time

It is good to be involved. But remember to always give time to YOU!

Ever go about the day and suddenly its dark and 8 p.m.? You sit and wonder how on earth did the day already go by and I am still sitting here in the same clothes?!

We all have had those days when our to-do list is piled high and we tend to lose track of time. That's just how life sometimes is.

It is good to have busy days where we are occupied with homework, catching up with friends, and organizing our lives. These days show us how to multitask and juggle multiple things at once.

But, be easy on yourself.

Sometimes it may feel like this to-do list is never ending or you have to finish it ASAP. You can do it. Just breathe and break it up step-by-step.

How do you get your whole to-do list done in a timely manner?

Simple. Prioritize!

Prioritizing what needs to be done first will help you put the important things first and the things that can wait after. For example, if an assignment is due I will get that done first before moving onto something else.

Prioritizing is key to getting daily chores done and out of the way.

With these chaotic days, we must remember that it is OK to be busy, but we must give ourselves a break throughout the day.

Whether it be for a snack/meal, time to hang with friends, or moments to yourself, we all need a break some point in our busy day.

If we keep going and going, we will eventfully burn out.

Eating an energizing meal or doing a little cardio workout in between will keep the heart pumping and ready for whatever your day throws at you.

Keep yourself busy.

It is good to be involved. But remember to always give time to YOU!

You cannot perform your best without adequate rest and time to yourself.

Whatever makes you happy or at ease do it! Take that bath, eat that cake, run that mile--do whatever will make you sigh and smile at the end of the day.

You only live once, so why not live it right?

Life is constantly moving at a fast pace, making it hard to always keep up. Take a moment to look around you and enjoy the little things. Congratulate yourself for doing something good this week. Say you did well on your test or you made a new friend to hang and get food with, go you for doing well and stepping out of your comfort zone.

Sure, life is busy, but your healthy, happy, and surrounded by people who chances are, care and love you more than words. What could be better than having a whole team to cheer you on?

(A puppy can be a close tie, but I mean we can only work with what we got people!)

Take a deep breath and conquer all of your daily goals and to-do lists. GO GET EM' GIRL!

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.
