I WILL go to the gym.

7 Lies Everyone Tells Themselves At The Beginning Of The Semester
Glenn Carstens-Peters

1. I WILL wake up early so I have time to look nice for class

This may hold true for the first week or so, but after that, it's sweatshirts, leggings or sweatpants, and messy buns every day without fail

2. I WILL be on time for every class

Sorry for interrupting your lecture, professor. I didn't hear my alarm clock (or maybe just didn't want to)

3. I WILL do all my homework in advance

Who, me? Submitting the online homework with thirty seconds to spare? Never!

4. I WILL eat healthier at the dining hall


But the greasy pizza and burgers and fries look so much better than a salad for the fifth time this week. Also, the ice cream/froyo machine is mocking me

5. I WILL eat healthier in general

When you're at the library late and everything is closed and you're craving something and the vending machine is all that's around, your healthy eating plan will be forgotten

6. I WILL go to the gym

After a long day of class, who wants to go run and be even more exhausted when you can binge-watch more of your favorite shows on Netflix?

7. I WILL go to bed at a reasonable hour every night

Either your homework will keep you up or you'll be on Twitter or Facebook or Youtube and suddenly realize you had planned to go to bed two hours ago

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.
