12 Ways Life Is A Lot Like A Donut
Jenna Leigh Bonner

Life is like a lot of things: a box of chocolate, a camera, a beautiful melody, a mountain, a train wreck. You can pretty much compare anything to life as long as you have enough motivation and creativity. So, let's see how life is like donuts!

1. There are a lot of different types:

You can have chocolate donuts, blueberry cake, jelly filled, etc. Everyone has their own thing that they like and all are so individual!

2. They look good on the outside but are sometimes awful on the inside:

A lot of people seem pretty awesome externally, but are actually fairly horrible. Reguardless of this, we still have to put up with them from time to time without smashing them.


3. Sometimes they're twisted:

Sometimes life gets weird and all mushed together. But, no matter what, we do our best to enjoy it and find some tastiness. Plus, some people prefer things a little twisted.

4. There is a huge whole in the middle:

Something always feels missing from life. Luckily for us, that little bit that gets taken out often becomes something wonderful and delicious all in its own right.

5. You take them whenever they're available, even if its awful:

Sometimes donuts suck (as mentioned above). But even then, we take them and eat them because hey, donuts, man.

6. Some parts are pointless, but enjoyable anyways:

Let's be real, sprinkles serve no purpose. Whatsoever. They add nothing to the donut. However, they look so pretty that just looking at them makes us happy. Things in life don't have to practical or purposeful in order to make us smile.

7. They're best at 2 a.m. with friends:

Donuts are literally always better late at night/early in the morning with friends. Similarly, life is better when you are enjoying life with people you love.

8. We can't prove they exist:

Time to get into a deep existential crisis: you can't prove anything exists outside of your own consciousness (Google "brain in vat" theory). So, we can't prove donuts exist either. That doesn't stop us from chomping in and enjoying a good one though! If you're in a constant existential crisis like me, remember to chill and enjoy life even when it doesn't seem real.

9. They're sweet and bring happiness:

This is self explanatory and true.

10. They eventually end:

This is also self explanatory and true.

11. Coffee makes them better:

Coffee makes life better. Or tea if you're a tea person. Or chocolate milk or something if you're that weirdo who doesn't like coffee or tea. Whatever your drink is, enjoy it with donuts and in life.

12. You eat donuts no matter what:

We will always love donuts. We love the sprinkles and cream and jelly and toppings. We eat them with friends at 2 a.m. and enjoy them even when they low key may not be "real". They make us happy and we enjoy the good moments. That is what life should be like.

Life is a lot like a donut, so enjoy it just the same.

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.
