An Open Letter To The Class I Hate

I don't actually hate you.

I've always known I was going to go to college. And I've always wanted to get a quality education.

But this is not what I pictured.

To graduate from my, and most other, Universities and Colleges, you must complete a certain amount of undergrad classes. Yes yes, we all know this. But I had no idea what types of classes would be in these lists to chose from.

I have never had a problem in school. I've typically enjoyed my time in my classes. So I never, in a million years, thought about these classes that I would be forced to chose from.

I browsed this section of the list carefully and with one eye closed, hoping then, just maybe, the courses would disappear. I took music in high school, I barely passed the final because I can't play a recorder to save my life. The last time I took an art class was in 5th grade.. seriously. I am the least artsy person you will ever meet.

Science is my strong suit and always has been so straying away from that felt like I was cheating on my favorite subject.

However, junior year of high school, my friends and I went to the art museum in Saint Louis. Mostly because that is what everyone did, so of course we had to as well.

I enjoyed our time at the art museum. I felt butterflies in my stomach when looking at a painting so large you needed to stand on the other side of the room just to get the full picture. I really enjoyed this "thing" that I had never seen before.

So when looking through the list, art history left the least bitter taste in my mouth. I went for it and I have never looked back. I feel very out of place in my class, simply because I lack the same vocabulary that 95% of the class has.

I find this class to be extremely interesting and eye-opening, especially for someone who has never been very interested in the arts.

Everyone always says that college is the time to take the class that interests you but is outside your major. And I fully support this idea. I thoroughly enjoy my art class even if it's not biology.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
