A Bad Case of the Mondays

Mondays are hard.

A Bad Case of the Mondays

There's something about the weekend, the fun, the sleep, and the few minutes to relax that makes Mondays suck that much more than any other day of the week. 

Of all seven, there is no day that compares to the struggle that is a Monday. Why? Because there's no foreseeable end. 

Nobody looks forward to Tuesdays (because let's be real, they kinda suck too), Hump Day is still two days away and Friday is basically a lifetime away. SO you're stuck trying to survive your dreaded Monday with nothing to keep you going.

You spent the weekend happy, staying up until 3 a.m. and sleeping until noon. You laid in bed watching TV for hours on end. You ignored your responsibilities, and then BOOM. A Monday.

You haven't touched your book bag in three days and you've got 120 pages of reading and a report due. Your clothes are all dirty (because who has time for laundry on the weekend), so you have to wear one dirty sock and and a too-small t-shirt from your high school homecoming. Your books are all over your room, your computer is dead and you realize you are out of milk after you pour a bowl of cereal. 

Not to mention, you haven't gotten out of bed before 1 p.m. since Friday, and all of the sudden your 9 a.m. happens. 

Monday. 

Of course it's cold/rainy/snowing/there are gale force winds. Obviously you didn't come outside with a coat or umbrella and the bus is already there...

If anything can go wrong, it'll go wrong on a Monday. It's the universe's way of punishing us for all our wrongdoings over the previous 48 hours.  

Walk a little faster, drink an extra cup of coffee and think about how comfortable your bed is going to be as soon as you get done with class.

Because once you survive your Monday, you're one day closer to the weekend. 

And also one day closer to another Monday...

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.
