10 Things I Definitely Was In A Past Life
Lindsay Terry

Last night, I went to a dance recital off campus to support a friend of mine who was in one of the dances. I love watching the dancers move gracefully and with such purpose across the stage. I took ballet when I was five years old, but other than that I have never dared to set foot on stage and try and show off my "moves." But, the more I watched the recital, the more I wanted to know how to move like the dancers did. After the show, I jokingly said to my friend, "I think maybe I was a dancer in the past life," to which she laughed in response. That right there is where the inspiration for this article came from. Here are ten things I most definitely think I was in a past life....


1. A Dancer.

The intro says it all. Next semester I'm going to join my friend in the beginner class of modern and jazz dance and test out the theory that I was a dancer in the past life.


2. A Trauma Surgeon.

This theory just stems from the fact that I love to watch all and any medical related shows, despite the fact that the sight of blood makes me faint.



3. The First Lady.

How cool would it be to be married to the POTUS? And live in the White House? I could definitely get used to having an indoor bowling alley, movie theatre, and pool in my massive mansion.


4. The Inventor of Soft Serve Ice Cream.

This one simply comes from my obsession with ice cream. I'd be honored to be remembered as the person who invented happiness that is served at ball games, small town shops, and the beach.


5. A Famous Actress.

Maybe I wouldn't necessarily be Marilyn Monroe, but, to be a famous actress who is remembered for decades after her death would be pretty fantastic.


6. The World's Best Chef.

I LOVE food and chef's are good at making food. So, that seems pretty logical.


7. A Spy for the FBI.

This was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I loved all the cool and unlikely gadgets they got to use, and was super impressed by the secret missions.



8. A Hardcore Rapper.

I have no idea where this one came from other than the fact that I have to listen to rap music when my brother and my boyfriend have the AUX cord while I'm driving.



9. A Grammy Award Winning Film Writer.

How awesome would it be to win a Grammy? That's not something you just tape on the refrigerator, that's something you put on the mantle above the fireplace my friends.


10. A British Nanny.

It would be awesome to have a British accent, and a never-ending purse, and a beautiful singing voice. Enough said.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
