"Halloweekend" is in the past, but the memories will surely live on forever. If you are a University of Utah student, you probably meandered down to U street on Saturday to witness the seemingly endless debauchery taking place. Flashback to last year when people were crowd surfing, an astronaut offered to take me to the moon, and cops lined the street throwing tear gas. College kids mixed with Halloween exposes what is really wrong with humanity... or what is awesome about it depending on how you look at it. Here is some crazy shit I witnessed this year:

1. A guy in a lizard suit peeing on someone's lawn in front of small children.

2. A guy possibly dressed as the Babadook hanging out a fourth story window and jumping.

3. Shaggy from Scooby Doo falling asleep on someone's car.

4. Sexy unicorns spraying people with glitter.

5. A redneck throwing firecrackers into the heart of the crowd.

6. A guy who offered me a cigarette because he was "lung cancer" for Halloween and had hundreds of cigarettes taped to his body.

7. Two girls humping each other and then looking into the eyes of two dudes saying, "Take notes boys!"

8. People jumping on top of cars trying to drive on the street or people getting into the cars that drove on the street... (why anyone would think it would be a good idea to drive on U street during Halloween deserves whatever horror is in store for them).

9. The fights that broke out while people yelled "WORLD STAR!!" and then me hoping someone didn't get stabbed by the shards of broken glass from beer bottles lining the street.

10. The line of about 10 cop cars that blockaded the one-way street in order to end the madness. (Classic ending to a classic U street celebration).

Yeah, I am gonna need to visit my therapist this week after witnessing the absolute decline of humanity and the primal state people resort to while wearing costumes and drinking alcohol. This is why millennials can't have nice things.

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.
