I haven't been all that open with my friends or acquaintances about the end of my last relationship. I wasn't that invested or sad that it was over, but I was really embarrassed by how I got dumped. Getting dumped is bad enough in and of itself, but getting dumped via text message is worse. I don't know why I am the one embarrassed, because I am not the grown adult who chose to end a relationship by hitting "send". Still, when someone does that to you, it's hard not to feel a little worthless. What was so bad about me that I didn't deserve an honest, face-to-face discussion? The saddest part, though, is that I'm not the first or last person to be dumped in such a cold, immature way.

So this is for all of you potential dumpers out there. When planning a breakup, please consult the following list to determine whether or not it is appropriate to utilize the text message breakup.

1. They show up at your house wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat.
2. You witness them abusing an animal.
3. Inside their closet is a sculpture of your face made out of your old chewing gum.
4. They are prison pen pals with Jodi Arias.
5. You notice that they have sprouted an extra head that has its own personality.
6. On the first date, they insist multiple times that you should go to their house and hang out with them in their basement. You have refused every time, but they keep suggesting it as an option (this actually happened to a friend of mine).
7. They regularly comment on "Teen Mom 2" articles defending Jenelle Evans' parenting style and life choices.
8. They begin referring to themselves exclusively in the third person.
9. They get your face/name tattooed on their body three weeks into the relationship.
10. They are actually a crocodile wearing a human suit.

There you have it, folks. The comprehensive list of when it is A-OK to use text messages to end a relationship. If your reason for dumping someone is not on that list, just don't do it. Promise?

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.
