10 Things You Do In College That You Did In Elementary School

It's funny how things come back into style. Just last month, I pulled out some of my old chokers hoping to find one that could come out of retirement. Since kindergarten you've gotten taller, smarter and probably better at sharing, but has that much really changed? Here are 10 things that you did in elementary school, that you've brought back in college.

Wearing fanny packs

Your mom would strap them on you before you went to an amusement park but now they are the perfect bag to hold your alcohol at a darty and on spring break.

Putting stickers on your school supplies

It shows your personality!

Who else had the little machine where you could make your own buttons? Even if you didn't, buttons were cool af in elementary school and now you can show them off on game days!

From this:

To this:

Decorating your backpack

How else would would be able to tell which one is yours in a library full of north face back packs?

I always loved hanging up my artwork in my room or around the house. The only difference now is that I'm poor so it's that or have blank walls.

From this:

The worst thing ever is when they don't come all the way off of the paper and then you're just sitting there will half a word on your face.

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.
