A Life Of Crazy

How can one plan for the future if they cannot plan a day?

A Life Of Crazy
Kristen Wilkey

We plan, we strive to make sure everything is in order, we have an idea in our minds how our day is going to go and it all falls apart in a split second because somebody needs you to do a favor for them or you forgot one tiny detail that throws it all into the wind. Of course, for most people, that only happens every so often to none - whereas I live with it every day. I make plans, I try and make sure I get everything done, I get ideas in my mind as to how the day will go and I get blown out of the water like a fish caught in a net.

Everyday I wake up (cranky like a cat with sour milk), eat my two pudding cups and either oatmeal or cereal, get myself cleaned up and ready to head to campus. Driving for nearly thirty minutes to get myself woke up, parking in a much-needed fixing parking lot to realize I either forgot my homework or I won't get to see my fiance until later in the day. Of course, that disappoints me (more so than the homework, but don't let the teacher know) but I manage through it when I either meet up with my best friend in the class or I get on Skype with the fiance from my classroom until time to end the call.

After classes are over, I find myself in a pickle as I never plan anything for that free time due to the fact that I could either be with my fiance and/or best friend, or I could find myself alone - which is not my best prospect but it has happened on occasion. With that being said, whenever I am alone I can usually play on my gaming laptop, get work done on my school laptop, or take a nap when all else fails. After a few hours have passed, I'll accompany aforementioned fiance to his band practice to watch him play before either night classes or my part-time job in the cafeteria of my campus. As such, working in the cafeteria is a hard job to try and make predictable. Either there are not enough students and we have an abundance of food, too many students at once and not enough food for the last-minute walkers, or in rare cases where someone smarts off and gets himself fired for it.

After work is over, I spend a few more moments with the fiance before making the nearly thirty minute drive back home to finish up on work, play a game or two with the fiance and friends, read a book or simply watch Youtube for a couple of hours before heading to bed. Overall, planning each day is something only I can manage to do (but not execute), although I can scarcely hope I can plan ahead enough to get my wedding underway very soon, or at the very least, not a fumbling mess.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
