College is a time to make friends and achieve personal and professional growth. It's hard to imagine that four years of your life will go by so quickly, but it does happen. I am halfway through my undergraduate years, and I have mixed feelings.

1. Where did the time go?

Time flies when you’re having fun, and that’s exactly what’s happened to you over the past two years.

2. What do I want to do with my life?

Now can be the time where you start thinking critically about what you actually want to do with your life when you are done with college. Are you pursuing what makes you happy?

3. How has this much time passed?

Sometimes, it’s hard to believe how fast the years go by! Another two years, and you’ll be with hundreds or thousands of other students in a cap and gown.

4. Did high school go this fast?

I thought high school went by fast, but college is on a whole new level. Two years are already done, and it feels like I just started.

5. Will the next two years be this fast???

In two years, I’ll be graduating, and if the first two years went by THIS fast...how fast will the next two years go by?

6. What am I even going to do this summer?

This summer is a good time for an internship, a job, or to just really enjoy yourself. Maybe you can pick up a new hobby or try to do something new every week,

7. Next year I’ll be off campus, which means I have to start ‘adulting’...

Paying rent, buying groceries, and living a few minutes from campus... Is this what being an adult feels like?

8. No more community bathrooms!!!

After living on campus for two years, it seems likely that I’ll miss the community and closeness of being in the dorms. However, I will not miss those community bathrooms…

9. Does anyone else feel this way?

Am I the only one that’s kinda freaking out??? Or do other people feel this way too about being halfway done?

10. Wait, what do you mean I’m HALFWAY DONE?!

It’s hard to believe, but it’s the truth.

College can fly by, so make sure that you’re using your time wisely at your university. After all, we’re only in college once, so we need to make the best of it now!

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.
