5 Signs You Know You Messed Up At Life

Ever have one of those moments where you think to yourself, "Oh crap, that was stupid," or "I was an idiot for doing that!"? I'm confident to say that everyone has gone through that moment of realization you had just messed up big time. If you are one of the prideful few who deny this, then just wait. This moment is coming for you.

Here are five signs everyone goes through right before they realize they messed up at life:

1. Your friends don't agree with your "advice"

You are having a late-night talk with your girlfriends about the guy you like. You tell them, "It's okay to start 'talking' to him, right?" When all your friends don't say a word or only mumble a response then you know something is wrong.

2. Nothing goes according to plan

After you start talking to that guy, the conversations don't go according to plan. He starts talking about strange or inappropriate subjects. You thought the guy was a gentleman, but by your conversations he is the exact opposite.


3. You have to help create the reality in your head

Since nothing is going according to your plan, you have to nudge the conversation, situation, or action to go in the route you want it to. You have to direct the conversation to where you want it to go, or you have to instigate hanging out with the guy you like.

4. You get butterflies in your stomach but not the good kind

Ever had a serious case of butterflies? Yeah, well when you think of being with the guy you have them, but for some reason you also have a bad feeling about the upcoming situation. You're excited to see him but also want to stay far away from him.

5. All hell breaks loose

That moment when you finally step back from the situation you find yourself and realize that life did not go the way you wanted it to. All hell broke loose even though you tried your best to control the situation. You wonder, "What the heck was I doing way back when this all started?" Then you get that sinking feeling that even though you thought you were doing a good thing, you actually just made matters worse. Now you have to fix everything you thought would do good, and you're secretly wanting to just go crawl up in a hole and cry. The realization sucks because all the effort you put into making your life great was an epic fail.

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.
