10 Things That All College Sophomores Need To Remember
We Heart It

Sophomore year is known as one of the most fun years of college, you are no longer a freshman and but you still have so much time until the real world comes along. But, we still all get stressed and have things to worry about. Our classes have gotten harder than they were freshman year, and sometimes we just don't know what to do.

1. If you don't do well on a test, try to not worry!


This sounds like something you would tell a freshman, but even though our classes are getting harder and more important for our major, you need to remember that you have rest of the semester to make up for it. The key is stay relaxed and you will be fine.

2. You can survive the sophomore slump.

It's not a myth and it affects all of us at one point or another. You are not alone. Remember that.

3. It's okay to cry.

And you can cry about whatever you want. Doesn't have to be about being homesick, the amount of homework you have, or what you got on your exam. It's okay. Let it out.

4. Stay positive.


It's OK to be sad but it's also so important to try and stay positive about everything that is happening! Otherwise, you will waste a great year of school being sad.

5. We aren't upperclassmen.

We aren't the bottom of the heap anymore but we also aren't at the top of the world. Stay patient.

6. It's okay to eat what you want.


If this is your last year on campus before moving off campus into a house or you're moving into an apartment where you have to make your own food, enjoy the dining halls now. Because next year you'll probably be having a 2 a.m. craving for some chicken tenders and fries.

7. But also, go to the gym!

It's also important to stay healthy so you can keep up with what you eat! Healthy lifestyle equals healthy thoughts.

8. Enjoy the moments with your friends.


Again, if you are moving off campus a lot of your friends may not be living right next to you anymore, so even though you'll still see them next year, enjoy having them right there!

9. Go out!


It's okay to stress about school but it is also important to give yourself a break! Go out, have fun and make some poor decisions! It's all part of the college experience.

10. Don't worry, you still have plenty of time.


I know what you're thinking: "Oh my god, it's halfway over, we are so close to graduating." I know it is a scary thought but you still have two more great years to make even more great memories.

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.
