It's almost that time, for college campuses to go quiet and the students to go home! Happy Thanksgiving!

1. I cannot wait to eat yummy thanksgiving food, I hate dining hall food

Yes, you miss your family and want to hang out with your friends but your number one priority is getting some good food.

2. Why are my professors giving us so much work, don't they know Thanksgiving is next week?

Some professors cancel classes for all of Thanksgiving week, others have an exam and project due that week. There is no in-between.

3. So if Thanksgiving is on a Thursday and classes are canceled Wednesday, I can go home on Monday or do I have to wait until Tuesday

*Calls mom* "All of my friends are coming home the Monday before so I should too right?"

4. Why don't I just go home the Friday before, I'm missing class either way...

Unless there is an exam or something due, there is no point in going to classes considering I probably won't do anything I can't do from my computer at home. If they do, do something in class I'm sure I can get the notes from a friend.

5. I should bring home lots of laundry since mom will do it and its free!

$1.25 a load can get expensive, so why pay for laundry if you're going home anyways?

6. I love my bed is much....can I bring it back to school with me?

Nothing compares to your comfy bed at home, no matter how many mattress pads and toppers you get, it's just not the same.

7. Can we make extra food so I can bring some back to school with me?

Did I mention how much I really hate dining hall food? I really, really hate it so please make extra of everything so I can survive until Christmas break!

8. I'm showering....without shoes on..... this is weird!

My feet can finally get cleaned, this is the weirdest feeling ever, god I hate showering at school!

9. Wait....my mom just told me I had to be home by 11.....I hate being home.

Going from no parental supervision to having a curfew is weird! At school I can go wherever, whenever with whoever I want. Being home is annoying because you have to tell your parents where you're going, who you're going with, for how long you're going, and you have to let them know if plans change!

10. Can I go back to college but not have any work?

I love my friends, living on my own, and some of the classes, but college would just be 100X better without any of the work!

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

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.
