Drowning? Me Too.

It's that time of year, I feel like I'm drowning.

Drowning? Me Too.
7SpeedReading

OK, we've passed the midpoint of the semester and to be honest I feel like I'm drowning. We are somehow expected to bounce back from midterms and just keep going, keep doing work. Its a little over whelming.

Working in retail, things are really started to pick up with the holidays right around the corner. My work schedule has gone from zero to 60 in a few days.

My car is in the shop because everything is wrong with it, and it's going to take a lot of money to get it back on the road.

On top of that, my dog, Lady, won't stop pooping in my apartment when I leave her for too long. I think she's doing it to spite me.

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE:

We are almost done with the semester! We got through midterms and we are alive.

More work means more money. Yay for paychecks!

A car is a car and I'll have my precious Bennie back on the road in no time.

At lease my dog cares when I'm not there, she loves me.

My point is that you may feel like your drowning at this point in the semester, but its OK, we are all there with you. Try to find the little rays of sunshine in your snowy/rainy/overcast day. Those small things that can bring you at least a little bit of joy. Laugh in the face of the fire that is consuming that thing called your life, and keep going.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
