10 Reasons Why I Am Never Leaving College

I did not grow up or meet the most important people in my life until I came to college. As a second semester sophomore, I am already making plans for grad school for public relation or law school. Every time I think about leaving my university, I get depressed. Why should I ever leave undergrad? To the freshies who never take a moment for granted, here is why I won't.

1. Late night food. Your friends will always be there to go grab late night food after a long night. Because we all need fries covered with cheese at 2 a.m. every once in awhile.

2. Drop quizzes and grades. In grad school, you don't get the advantage of a drop quiz if you failed.

3. Sorority. I am going to miss all my sisters, living in a sorority house, social functions, and rush. Let's not forget living with some of my very best friends!

4. A real job. After college, there is the real world with real consequences and real stress. Let's not even mention marriage and kids.

5. Spring break and summer break. No more fun beach trips with friends for an entire week in a beach house you are supposed to be 25 to stay in.

6. Football. Sitting at the student section at football games were some of my most favorite memories and will be the most missed.

7. Napping during the day. Never again will I have the time to curl up in bed after class and nap till dinner.

8. Being ratchet in public. No more wearing an XL shirt with leggings and a bun on top of your head to class. Now you have to wear business casual every day!

9. Traveling. No more studying abroad in Europe and skipping school to go to a music festival.

10. Expenses build up. The grace period is gone and student loans start to pile up. Mommy and Daddy aren't there and you have to start paying them back. Hello, one bedroom apartment!

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.
