If you're the type of person who eats healthy, you probably know about Trader Joe's. Here are some thoughts we all have when shopping there.

1. Omg I'm gonna start eating super healthy now!

You walk into Trader Joe's and for a few minutes, you think of becoming vegan and gluten-free because of all the yummy healthy options and produce. You're tempted to buy four kinds of apples and lettuce even though you have absolutely no room in your fridge.

2. Do I really need a cart?

You probably walked in with a plan to only get flowers for your friend's birthday and your favorite chocolate chip cookies. But you quickly realize that getting in and out of Trader Joe's is easier said than done and 10 minutes into your shopping trip, you find your arms filled will stuff and need to break down and get a cart.

3. I need flowers and succulents in my life

One of the first things that will catch your eye in Trader Joe's is all the cute flowers and succulents. You'll suddenly start to remember that empty windowsill in your room that just needs a little bit of TLC in the form of adorable flowers and succulents.

4. I can't wait to have my friends over for wine and cheese parties

Trader Joe's boasts almost a full wall of yummy cheeses. You'll suddenly start to wish you could have posh house parties and invite your friends over for wine and cheese get-togethers.

5. Did someone say free samples?

Free samples? Count me in. Free samples at Trader Joe's are the best. Sometimes they'll be showcasing one of their new frozen meals or they will put some ingredients together to make something delicious. After you try that homemade goat cheese pizza free sample, you'll be questioning why you ever spend money on pizza anywhere else.

6. Someone keep me away from the cookies

Trader Joe's crunchy chocolate chip cookies are a God-sent. You might be browsing through the aisles looking for something completely different, but end up dropping a container of cookies into your cart. Oh, and did I mention Trader Joe's animal crackers? They also are completely dangerous and if you're not careful, you might find yourself eating half the container in one sitting.

7. I already have 2 boxes of granola/protein bars in my cart, but I need another box

You're walking through the aisles and grab your favorite granola bars and a box of Trader Joe's PB & J bars (try them and your life will be changed). But, you see that they have seasonal pumpkin granola bars and can't help but add another box to your cart.

8. I might just eat tortilla chips and salsa for the rest of my life

Trader Joe's= king of chips and crackers. Their black bean and quinoa chips may not smell the best but they taste amazing. You find yourself trying to practice some sort of self-control when you see all of their yummy tortilla chips and salsa and wonder if you can sustain on them for the rest of your life.

9. My cart got so full so fast

Remember when you walked in only wanting flowers and chocolate chip cookies? Now you look down at your cart as you're about to check out and wonder how you were able to fill your cart up in such a short period of time. Do you feel a couple second of regret? Sure. But will you get over it? Also yes

10. Man, I love this store

All other grocery stores can bow down to Trader Joe's. No matter how much money you spend, you always feel a little better leaving with your paper, recyclable bags and can't wait till your next shopping trip so you can try out those new pita crackers you've been dying to eat.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
