Let's flash back to the beginning of the semester. You walked into your first class with your little notebook and colored pens ready to finish the semester off strong with full confidence. Now that October has rolled around, the game has changed. We enter the dreaded month of midterms. It all goes down hill from here. Big papers are due, exams are taking over our lives, and we live in the library pretty much 24/7. Our GPA, bank accounts and emotional stability could use a little prayer right now. Here's how the cast of Spongebob has summed up the mid-semester crisis:

1. It hits you midterms have approached and the fun is now over.

2. Appearance means nothing anymore and you show up to class with mismatching socks and the sweatpants you wore to bed.

3. Your brain feels like:

4. The library went from being completely empty at the beginning of the semester to suddenly looking like this:

5. Balancing your school work, social life, internship and job all at the same time has you looking like:

6. Procrastination has become your job and when you finally begin your assignment, you reward yourself 2 minutes later with a break.

7. At the beginning of the semester, you were so happy, carefree and attentive. Now you're miserable, stressed and tired.


8. You're at that point where you can't even function like a human.

9. It's 3 AM and you finally finish the assignment you've been putting your blood, sweat and tears into.

10. Your friends ask you to go out and be adventurous but you've already spent your life savings on the beginning of the semester.

11. When you've been studying so long that you can't fit any more information into your brain.


12. Getting a good nights sleep isn't even an option anymore.

13. You finally get in bed at 11:50 PM thinking you're finally able to go to sleep before midnight until you realize there's an assignment due on blackboard at 11:59.

14. You have $0.14 in your bank account, running on 1.5 hours of sleep, you have no clean clothes and you're failing 7/5 of your classes but are trying to look at the bright side of things.

15. You go home to your family and they ask how your semesters going so far.


16. Your professor decides to add assignments that weren't even on the syllabus in the first place.

17. You're halfway through an exam and realize how screwed you are but keep on trying because you really need the grade.


18. You roll into 8 AM class wondering why you even thought it was a good idea to take one in the first place.

19. Eating is the only way to make you feel content.

20. Everything and everyone around you pisses you off.

21. You failed your midterm and beg your professor to round up your grade.

22. Your life has turned into a constant panic 24/7.


23. Mental breakdowns happen daily.

24. You look at your midterm grades and realize you're screwed.

25. Your motivation just isn't there anymore.

26. When you're just so physically and mentally drained, and you still have 2 months left of the semester to go.

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.
