The 8 Stages of Packing

Summer is coming to end and you know what that means. Everyone's favorite activity. PACKING! Yup it's that time of the year where you have to start getting ready to go back to school. You talk about how excited you are to see all your friends and wear all your cute new clothes you bought over the summer. But none of that will happen if you don't pack. Nobody actually packs when they say are going to everyone waits till the last minute. I am definitely guilty of this.

This is how people actually get to packing;

1. You are laying and bed and you tell yourself that in 30 minutes you will start packing.

2. It's been over 30 minutes and you are still bed and you realize you never got up so you give yourself another 30 minutes and then you will really get out of bed this time.

3. Okay so now that you have given yourself an hour to prepare for packing you finally get out bed and start.

4. You take out your bags put them down open them up and say "Why can't I pay someone to do this?"

5. Now that you have begun; you start packing a few shirts, place them in the bag and call it a day.

6. It is now a week later from when you started packing and you realized that you are leaving for school in two days. So now you are overwhelmed and in panic mode since you waited till the last minute.

7. A week ago when you had all the time in the world you were folding your clothes and placing them neatly in your bags. Now that you have two days left you start having a panic attack and throw everything in as fast as you can.

8. Lastly once you finished freaking out and finished getting everything into your bags you realized wow this took me 30 minutes I should of done this a week ago.

After reading this if you haven't finished packing, GET UP AND FINISH NOW!

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.
