Traveling is one of my favorite things to do. However, I tend to be the person that either overpacks or underpacks her bag. I either have way to much stuff to fit in my bag, or I left like three things at home that I needed. I wanted to make a list of the things that you will need for almost any travel trip. Whether it's a short trip to the beach or getting on the airplane to go around the world, here are 10 items you need to take with you.

1. Headphones

This one is major important for me! I'm a big music person so if I forget my headphones on the plane, it's game over. Make sure you take some with you!

2. Cash

I've learned that it's always good to have some cash on hand. Almost every place takes a card, but you will find that one time where you need cash to pay for parking, food, or souvenirs.

3. Rain Jacket

The weather is always a little crazy so bring a jacket just in case it does rain!

4. Toiletry Bag

This is literally so helpful. It's a great bag where you can just store every bathroom thing you use and a major thing to not forget on your trip!

5. A Book

I love being on my phone and all, but sometimes, I need to put it down and read a book! This makes the travel time go a lot faster!

6. Tide To Go

Don't know about you, but I always manage to get something on my clothes when I go on a trip. Tide to go is like my BFF. Gets the stains right out!

7. Laundry Bag

I normally just take a garbage bag with me on a trip, so I can put all my dirty clothes in it when I'm coming back home! That way you can separate your clothes, and just wash the ones you wore when you get back!

8. Sneakers

Take some sneakers that are comfortable!! Pretty much any trip I have gone on, we are normally walking around a lot. Sneakers always are super good for long walks and your feet with thank you.

9. Phone Charger

Don't forget it!!

10. Medicine

I always manage to get headaches when I'm in the car for too long or on the plane. Take some pain medicine with you just in case you need it!

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.
