Scuba Diving Is What Keeps Me Sane

There's nothing but me and the sea and I love it.

Scuba Diving Is What Keeps Me Sane
Trinity Tew

Ever since I was little, I've loved the ocean. The beach, sand and all, makes my heart happy. In fact, it's more than a happy place, but most people don't get it. I live to jump into the ocean one more time. But one thing that's even better than jumping into it, waist high, is jumping into the ocean off a boat with dive gear on.

Scuba diving is by far the greatest and most spectacular hobby you can have.

If you disagree, you're wrong. If you've gone diving before, you know what I mean. The ocean is wayyy cooler than land and I'd much rather spend my time pruning up at the bottom of a reef than spending my time doing anything else on land. I have salt water in my veins, it's what I'm made for. In fact, it's a running joke at my house than I'm an actual mermaid because I eat salt on everything- and not just a normal amount, I'm talking enough to where you can see the salt on every bite. I don't taste my food before I salt it, and most of the time, I end up needing more.

When I'm living a normal life up here above sea level, I dream in blues and the colors of coral. The ocean is good for me, no doubt about it. I've been itching to get back in my gear so badly that the other day, I dreamed I could breathe underwater without my regulator.

Scuba diving is my bit of Heaven on Earth and there's nothing that can take that away from me.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
