10 Reasons College Is The Best Four Years
Emma Thor

People say College is the best four years and cherish those moments. I am entering my senior year of college. My three years of college has been the most memorable experiences yet. Here are the 10 reasons why college is the best four years.

1. You make lifetime friendships.

They're a five minute walk from your dorm room , willing to do movie nights or eat breakfast before class , late night at the campus dining hall.

2. Discovery of your passions.

You find your passion through the variety of clubs , taking classes outside of your major, hobbies.

3. Professors become your mentors

Professors share their experiences during class and approachable.

4. Taking classes based on your interest and electives.

For example : taking sociology classes or political science you realize you want to do social work or be in public office. taking photography classes you discover your passion for photography.

5. You appreciate the free things in college

for example: free pizza, free t-shirts come in handy when you're on a budget in college.

6. taking pictures helps cherish the memories.

Pictures could consist of sunsets from an academic building, changing of the leaves in the fall, group picture at an event.

7. exploring the college town such as hiking trails , restaurants and shopping centers.

These places will have some college discount if you present your college id.

8. getting involved on campus widens your network and appreciation for the campus.

Getting involved on campus could being a Resident Assistant , executive board member for a club, Student Government, Fraternity or Sorority, tour guide

9. Hard work pays off. If its four or more years of college in the end getting your degree will be worth it. Everyone ends their education differently.

10. You'll be sad to leave college when you graduate.

College you shaped so much as a person and without your support system you wouldn't be where you are today.

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.
