8 Things To Do When Your Plans Don't Go As Planned

buzzfeed.com

Has there ever been a day in your life where you wake up in the morning, eager to start your day, because you have so many exciting things to do or an event to go to that night? You rush home from work, throw on the outfit you’ve been dying to wear and make sure your makeup looks flawless. As soon as you’re about to head out the door…

Wait — something goes wrong (God knows what) and that thrill goes away because the plans you’ve made and have been looking forward to just got cancelled, last minute of course. And then your left making excuses, like maybe you should just go out again next weekend, or the timing of for these plans were never right. Eh, it happens to the best of us… In fact it happened to me last night. So here are eight things to do when the plans you’ve been looking forward to don’t seem to go just as planned:

1. Go Shopping.

A little retail therapy never hurt anyone did it? Except for your bank account, of course.

2. Take a road trip.

Just get in your car and drive… and listen to the 2010 party playlist CD that you had made in the eigth grade.

3. Go to the movies.

"Finding Dory" just came out and it’s honestly the cutest movie ever and a must see no matter your age.

4. Plan a vacation.

Why not book a trip somewhere exotic like the Bahamas or Bermuda!? Hopefully you find a great deal on flights and a hotel and hopefully this trip won’t get cancelled!

5. Exercise.

Burn some calories! Sweat! Go to the gym and put in work… and make use of the this extra time that has been put on your hands!

6. Sleep.

Or you could just snooze off a few calories, maybe?

7. Go to Outback Steakhouse.

I don’t know about you but when I get hangry (hungry and angry, duh) I’m usually always craving a Bloomin' Onion from Outback… plus Outback Steakhouse never fails me. So it’s a win, win. No loss here!

8. Climb to the top of the world

Be spontaneous why dontcha?

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
