Break from College or from Work?

Spring Break is about to officially start, but it's not going to actually feel like one.

Break from College or from Work?

For some of us, Spring Break is actually going to be what Spring Break is supposed to be: relaxing, catching up with friends and/or family, sleeping and etc. While the rest of us, if you are like me, will be coming home for Spring Break, but with homework. Yes it's a sad day because my professors are like you don't have work, but according to the syllabus we have to talk about an assignment the first day we get back which means I have to do "work" over break to prepare for Monday. At least my break is like a week so I can do work and try do to other things as well which would most likely be sleeping.

Spring Break couldn't come any sooner because I'm ready to be done with midterms. Even though I officially only had one, all the quizzes and tests that I have in between doesn't make it any better. But once Spring Break goes, I'll be counting down until May 10th so I can be on summer vacation. Even though it will be a summer of job hunting and working on articles, it will be worth it in the long run. Also the idea of deciding what classes I have to take next semester is going to be a pain planning that out for.

Deciding on classes isn't hard, the hard part is going for the section that have the best time for you, actually getting into that section, making sure not to have too early classes but also at the same not have any late classes. With my major when I have workshops, they are 6-8:30pm so that's going to be fun going to those once a week. At least it's for what I actually like to do, writing stories, but coming up with ideas is another ballgame I have to do. Creativity is one thing, but sometimes my short story ideas turn into long ideas which makes it become more of a novel than a short story. I have plenty of unfinished stories that I'm going to be working on for the summer. That sounds more like a job, but it's all for amusement and for the people who actually read my stories online for their enjoyment.

Lastly, with the month of March and spring break being next week, it's almost my roommate's birthday. I been sending her pics of her favorite kpop idol, thanks to me for finding him for her, starting March 1st and I might officially stop on her birthday March 15, but it won't be fun messing with her anymore so I may continue. I feel so young being a summer baby of '98 with everyone turning 19 before me. I wont be 21 until my last year of college and I barely look like my age now, who knows if I even change in 4 years because I haven't changed much since 8th grade besides glasses and hair wise.

Finally, to everyone that's going to be on spring break, I hope you make the most of it and to everyone who is already on spring break, I hope you are having fun as well!

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.
