Happy Spring Break!! It's finally the time to sleep in and not worry about your priorities as a college student. Not that we have it that bad, but trust me, we all needed this break.

As I sat through my classes throughout the week leading up to Spring Break, I couldn't help but question how I've made it this far without having a mental breakdown. That being said, these Spring Break-induced breakdowns are all too familiar, especially if you're someone like me. No matter how hard I try, I cannot enjoy Math. Even when I think I know what's going on, there's a good chance there's something still missing.

While deciding what would be a good topic to touch upon in this week's article, I sat in my statistics class simultaneously questioning why I ever thought taking a math class in college was a smart decision.

In honor of our much-needed break and mutual hatred towards the world of Mathematics, here are 10 scenarios every Non-Math major has experienced while sitting in class:

1. When your teacher reveals the answer, and it's not even close to what you came up with.

2. When you do a problem, and you think it was finally right on the first try.

3. When your professor asks, "So does that make sense?"

4. Repeatedly telling yourself not to ask, 'Why?" and just do as you're told.

5. When everyone goes over the answer they got for a problem, and your answer wasn't even close to what they're talking about.

6. Plugging 2+2 into your calculator during an exam just in case the Math world decided to switch things up on you.

7. Meeting someone who has Math anxiety just like you.

8. Finding a rare human who not only enjoys math, but is good at it, too.

9. Repeatedly reminding yourself why you chose a major other than Math.

10. When you finally get the right answer, or you understand what is going on in class.

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.
