If I'm correct, there is a book titled Everything I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten or something along those lines. I've never read it, but I have seen it at a bookstore. Upon seeing it, my thoughts raced to the things I learned not necessarily in kindergarten, but growing up. I think we can easily, and often forget such things, so I'm going to remind you.

1. It's okay to be friends with people that have different interests than you. You don't have to do every single thing with one person. Branch out.

2. Be nice to everyone.

3. Branching from number two, don't judge a book by it's cover. Read the book for yourself, then make a decision.

4. There is no reason to stress. Run free, be joyful, dance in the rain. You'll be better off that way.

5. Your parents are smarter than you. I don't know when we decided to think we knew more than them, but we were wrong, are wrong, and will always be wrong. Because they are always right. Listen to them.

6. Be honest. We all know the brutal honesty of little kids... being honest saves so much heart ache in the end.

7. It's okay to eat a cookie sometimes... but remember that they are meant to be eaten in moderation.

8. Let exercise be fun... remember running around as a kid or riding your bike? Do that, don't torture yourself.

9. Have fun.

10. Don't worry about what other people think of you. Just. Be. You.

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.
