Time

You don't realize how much time has passed until you are reminded.

Time

Time is something that I have had a hard time wrapping my mind around. A new realization has came to me about time, and it's that you don't realize how much time has passed until you are reminded.


My senior year of college has had me in my feels thinking about how fast time has passed, and how fast time has gone. (Is this what getting old feels like? HELP.)


Over the last month, I have been caught up in the every day struggles and stresses of school. During this time, I have forgot to look at all of the positives that are happening all around me. I may have been stressing about an exam, but looking back at photos from the same day I may see that I went out to dinner with a friend I haven't seen in awhile or went to a game with my family.


Those days where you are stressed or worried, can also be days where you had fun, made memories, and enjoyed the people you were around. Time has a weird play in your life. Days go slow, but weeks go fast. Suddenly you are looking back at memories and realizing a lot of time has passed.


I am a huge believer in living in the moment. I love to be surrounded by my favorite people, making memories that I will always cherish. I like to think that I make the most of every day, but I am kicking myself because I feel I haven't been lately.
Senior year of college has had a lot of phases. I have went through the "senior year: live it up" phase, the "senior year: i'm too old to be here" phase, the "senior year: i'm too tired to go out" phase, and now the "senior year: I NEED TO FIND A JOB" phase.


It's a stressful time in my life, but why stress what I can't control?


This article is a reminder for myself, but also for you. We all need a little reminder to live in the moment, cherish everyday, and fill your days with as many memories and pictures as you can! (And to send your resume to a job or two along the way.)

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.
