The Homestretch... Spring Break To Summer

1

The time in between spring break and summer is going to fly by. Before we know it, we are going to be back in our hometowns in our warm cozy beds watching Netflix all summer long. After about one week of this, the only thing on our mind will be tailgate season that is coming up in a few months. However, these few months are going to feel more like a few years.So, in order to make the best of the little time we have left of this school year we are going to need to do a couple things.
Take advantage of 2 for 1 Tuesdays at the KK while we still can.  While lying in bed doing nothing but re-watching Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill, we are probably going to be pretty sad that we can't be sitting at the KK in a classic red booth double fisting pink drinks. Since Tuesdays are two for one, it is crucial that we take advantage and keep both drinks for ourselves. When we hear the song, "Timber," and aren’t able to dance to it in the small dance section in the back corner of the KK, we will truly be sad. This is when we start rethinking not staying in Madison for the summer.
Study a little bit harder for your exams. There is nothing worse than sitting at home and feeling like you have failed your way through college. Knowing that you received good grades will give you hope that there is more to do with your life than lay in bed all day. It will give you motivation to get the same good grades in the fall. Plus, your parents will be impressed. 
Enjoy the Kodak moments instead of taking pictures during them. Nothing ruins a moment more than stopping to find your phone to snap a picture. The moment is no longer cherished. Sometimes we just need to put our phones away and appreciate a night out with good friends. 
Make that extra effort to get to know people. There is not much time left to do this, so what better time than now? It will be fantastic to go back to school in the fall with more friends than you had the year before. This means more nights out, more connections to different parties and more possibilities that somebody can help you out with a class that you are struggling in. 
See your advisor. Make sure that you are on the right track to graduation and getting all your requirements fulfilled. When your registration time during the summer opens up you need to make sure that you are prepared and have some back up classes ready. There will be no running up Bascom hill from your house to seek your advisor's help when you realize all the classes that you want are no longer open.

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.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
