WHAT THE HELL!? We had a plan!

This Is What Your Body Is Telling You By The Second Week of The Semester
The Mighty

When we go on break, we tell ourselves that our bodies need breaks so we can be refreshed for the next semester. So we sleep in every single day because we never get that sleep during the semester. We eat whatever we want because we try to eat healthy all the time while we are at school. We say the week before we will try to get back on schedule so we are prepared for the semester! Except we do none of that because the break sneaks up on us and we are dying by the second week of the semester! I wonder what our bodies could actually be saying to us by this time? You know what, I will take a wild guess what they could be saying due to forcing our bodies into the harsh world we call college.

Dear whomever this body belongs to,

WHAT THE HELL!? We had a plan! The brain literally us told that we needed to prepare for this! Yes at this point I was telling you to not worry about it because I told you that we had more time or just that I was very sleepy. I also told you I wanted more sleep because you put me through hell so I wanted to be pampered from head to toe!

So I will take partial blame for this, but like really what did you do to me!? I was sleeping in until probably 10-12 and now I am waking up at 8 or 9!? Do you see how HORRIBLE that sounds for me? I understood for the first week because we had to jump back into it, but wait that was not the only thing you did to me! You put me through PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES that you did not prepare for me! You did not do any of that over the break! The most you probably did was go to the kitchen to make food or walk to the bathroom! I cried at you for a couple of days because you did not warn me about what was to come!

FEED ME! Did you read that correctly? Please do not just feed me junk food or the same bubbly, carbonated stuff you know won't help you through your long day! I need 3 meals a day at a MINIMUM! I don't care if you get all the food groups in or not: I just want meat or protein, and everything that gives me energy! Protein shakes sound just fine as long as it has what it needs to make it a meal and just not because it taste good in milk or water. I am your growing body no matter how much damage you have caused me so far. YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF ME!

I appreciate what you have done so far, but we have until May to get through this and you need to do better!

Sincerely,

Your Body

Well I mean I am sorry body and I will try to do better! I like sleep a lot and thought that is what you wanted...I guess not! So to everyone else who is dragging in their second week, listen to what your body is telling you! We only have one and if we do not take care of it we may not one and who doesn't love their body?

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!
