Different Types Of Fun

Summer is finally here and in full swing. Whether you are being a beach bum, working or interning it is inevitable that when you run into your Great Aunt Edith at the end of the summer and she is going to want to know how your summer has been. Regardless if you’ve been the pledging the real world as an unpaid intern, she is going to want to hear that you have had fun this summer. Really you have had fun because everything is fun, just a different type of fun.

Type one: fun now, fun later.

The easiest type of fun. Hanging out with friends on the beach or on a hike, going hard on a killer brunch, or seeing your favorite band in concert are all examples of type one fun.

Type two: not fun now, fun later.

Type two fun is most often found in moments where you thoroughly embarrass yourself. Word vomiting in front of a large group of people and not being able to recover.

Experiences like this are definitely not fun during, but give the embarrassment some time to fade, and the humor will begin to shine through.

Type 2.0: fun now, not fun later.

Thursday night when you somehow crawl into bed at 5 a.m. and have class in three hours. Your 8 a.m. is going to be a very rough type 2.0 fun.

For my fellow pale people, type 2.0 is something we experience going to the beach, and thinking we can tan, so we don’t wear sunscreen.

Type three: not fun now, not fun later.

That riveting summer desk job where you fill out paper work all summer, Type Three.Taking a required class and failing it, Type Three. Stay away from this.

Type four: fun for you, not fun for everyone else.

When it’s your birthday and you get a little out of hand.

Type five: not fun for you, fun for everyone else.

That time that your dad embarrassed you in front of all your friends? That was type five fun for him and your friends.

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.
