Nothing Special

I’m incredibly tired, mentally exhausted, and am having enormous trouble getting myself to sit here and write this article rather than take a nap or over-practice for the piano and vocal juries I have tomorrow. Never mind the fact that I can't speak actual sentences out-loud without mumbling and stumbling, I that shouldn't effect how I write, right? So I thought before I spelled write “witer.” Yeah…What further shows my level of exhaustion at this point is the mere fact that I pointed that out at all to an audience of readers who would have seen and known nothing if I hadn’t have…What an awkward sentence. Oh, well. I’m too lazy to go back and delete it now, so I’ll just move on.

You know when you’re very tired, and preoccupied, go out with friends, and end up asking how they are at least 5 times? That was breakfast this morning… actually quite often I suppose, but this morning especially. Or when you get distracted by a thought, end up inadvertently staring at someone, something, or someone’s dog for a bit too long, and making awkward eye contact sometimes followed by an even more awkward wave and slow turn away…That has also happened to me more often then I’d care to admit…I am known to be a bit spacey from time to time...

I don’t really have a point I’m going to make and argue here. Quite frankly, I think there are quite enough points being made on social media right about now. This can thus serve as a break from that. I would be proud and rather surprised to find you’ve reached this point in my article…If you have, I guess I’ll keep going, first to see how long I can keep your attention without stating anything of major importance, but mainly because I have to reach the 500 word limit.

So…how’s it goin?

*Stare off into space for a solid five minutes that feel like a one second*

*Contemplate life, and come close to making a small yet seemingly significant self discovery*

*Get taken away from your deep concentration, distracted by your friend vying for your attention yet again*

*Make awkward eye contact with a baby sitting across the room*

*Smile*

*Realize looking any longer could make you seem creepy*

*Look away before anyone else notices*

Resume conversation with friend.

“So, how’s it goin?"

*Smile and nod*

*Have conversation of little importance as we’re both incredibly tired*

*Shuffle home in the cold looking forward to stripping down, and watching Netflix with a nice cup of tea and a cookie*

*Get back and realize you have to study for finals*

*Strip down, and watch Netflix with a cup of coffee, five cookies, a doughnut, and some chocolate occasionally salted with your tears of dismay and disappointment*

Well, that was fun. Made a bit of a skit…not like I’ve ever done anything of that sort…You know, I’d like to insert a gif here, but I’m not completely sure how…I’ll figure it out. Hold up. Yeah, I tried, not very hard, as I have very little motivation at this point to do anything at all unnecessary, but I tried…Maybe next time.

Oh, Happy Thanksgiving all! I just realized it's on Thursday. Hope you have a lovely time with friends and/or family! :)

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.
