The week of January 30th started just like any other week for me. However, unlike other weeks, things never got better after Monday. Homework piled up so high that I was getting really good cell phone reception at the top of it all. Meetings ran so long that I could run to my hometown and back before they ended. Sleep lasted so short that I thought I was only blinking. Although college is a lot of fun and I am extremely grateful for the opportunity, I could not help but look at the greener grass this week. Here are 10 things that had a way better week than me, and will probably continue to have amazing weeks in the future.
1. Post Cards
Just like the joke says, these bad boys can go all over the world while sitting pretty in a mailbox or mailman’s car. Meanwhile, I was traveling from floor to floor in the library and was sitting in some slightly cool chairs!
2. Child Prodigies
AKA the reason common people have to go to college.
3. El Chapo
This is a bit melodramatic, but I think a prison cell had more appeal this week than any of the classrooms on campus.
4. Butterflies
They’ve got it all: beauty, grace and the ability to travel somewhere warmer. I’m warranted to feel envious towards them!
5. My Chemistry Professor
Because she didn’t have to teach, just hand out an exam that caused my less-than-ideal week.
6. Forever 21 Clothes
Besides the fact that they aren’t in college, they also get to hang (literally) around with their friends all day!
7. The Sun
No lie, the sun spent less time awake than I did this week and that’s how you know you’re doing life wrong.
8. My Dog
This is literally every week, but still, his routine is: sleep, eat, walk, get attention and repeat. What a life!
9. Church Bells
Simply because they have a purpose (which I am lacking)!
10. C of C Graduates
This fine group of people survived it all: the stress of college and the unpredictable Charleston weather. Now they are living out their dreams and becoming inspirations for many current students.
Surprisingly, it is not that hard to find 10 things that had weeks better than my own. The thing about rough weeks, though, is that they make you appreciate the good ones that much more. Here’s to making this week a good one and not being able to think of anything that has a better one!
