The First Semester Of College As Told By The Grinch

Jim Carrey as The Grinch acts as though he has been in college himself. He understands the ins and outs of trying to survive the first semester at college and the joys of getting to go home for Christmas. Here is the first semester of college as told by "The Grinch."

1. Looking at your class schedule.

Freshman register last, therefore they get the worst choice in classes.

2. When your friends invite you to go out.

3. Waking up to people screaming in the dorm halls.

Of course it always seems to happen in the middle of the night or really early in the morning.

4. Having to find something to wear. To anything.

Whether you're going to a party, Greek Life events, or a club parties, what you wear matters.

5. Forgetting that you have to do laundry and having to live with the consequences.

It happened to the best of us. You just couldn't find time to do laundry and you're stuck with the clothes you shouldn't have even brought to college in the first place.

6. Not having a normal eating schedule.

If you have to ask, you already know the answer.

7. Having class on the 3rd floor with no elevator.

It gets slightly easier as the semester goes on, but it's still never fun.

8. Finally getting the inspiration to write your next paper.

9. When finals are done and winter break starts.


December happens so quickly that Christmas is here before you know it.

10. When you get your final grades back.

At least you passed your class. Hopefully.

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.
