10 Amazing Trees That Almost Make Pollen Worth It.

Ah yes. It's that season. The season that leaves ya sneezin'. If you couldn't tell by the mucus-green layer of plant sperm on your car and other surfaces, it's the time of year that you always forget about while looking out of your classroom window wishing for warm spring days.

Pollen is here with a fierce need to impregnate anything, including your nostrils. So while you sit at your computer, box of tissues and allergy medicine at hand, here are some trees that almost make the misery of pollen season worth it. Almost.

1. Japanese Maple Trees

This particular tree can be found in Portland, Oregon. Which is unusual. Just like plant sperm in your nose.

2. Cherry Trees

These beautiful flowering cherry trees can be seen in April in Bonn, Germany. This lane is famous for its blooming trees, and thousands of people flock to the streets every year during peak season.


Maybe George Washington chopped cherry trees down because of his allergies. I don't know. I'm a writer, not an allergy historian.

3. Rainbow Eucalyptus

This tree is found in warm, sunny climates such as Hawaii. It's often farmed in Texas and Florida because the pulp is excellent for making white paper. It also looks like Fruit Stripe gum.

4. Giant Sequoia Trees

These trees can be found in Sequoia National Park in California. They are the Earth's largest and longest-living trees. They're also the largest living organism (by volume) on the planet. The second largest is your mother.

5. Angel Oak

The angel oak can only be found on John's Island in South Carolina. It stands 66.5 feet tall and is 28 feet in circumference. It gives off, like, hella pollen. But it's cute for wedding photos, so pros and cons.

6. Baobab Trees

These trees are found in one of the most biologically diverse places in the world: Madagascar. Zambezi legend has it that when the world was young, Baobab trees were lush and beautiful but became conceited, so the gods uprooted them and shoved them back into the earth with roots facing up. This still doesn't explain why they look so ... well I think you know.

7. El Arbol Del Tule

Spanish for "The Tree of Tule," Arbol Del Tule is located in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. It owns the title of the tree with the stoutest trunk in the world and is estimated to be around 2,000 years old. At this point, I think it's earned the right to pollinate.

8. Socotra Dragon Tree

Also known as the dragon blood tree, the Socotra Dragon Tree is found in the Socotra archipelago. The tree gets its name from the red sap that it produces. That's so meta.

8. 144-Year-Old Japanese Wisteria

This plant is actually more related to a pea than a tree, but they rhyme, so close enough. Maybe if the pollen was this shade of purple it wouldn't be so awful to have it literally everywhere.

10. Blue Jacaranda

The Blue Jacaranda is native to South America, and blooms in spring and early summer. They got their name because they're blue. Da ba di, da ba di.

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.
