Do you dream of travelling to strange places and sightseeing peculiar things?

Well, this article won't help you get magically rich enough to go on a trip around the world, but it well help you get the second best thing: a life change (if it is even minimal)

1. Change your hairdo.

Feeling rebellious and spunky? Dye it the color you last think of! Chop all of it off, or get bangs. After all, hair always grows back and dye always washes out.

2. Read life-changing literature.

Aside from having "me" time, life-changing literature, well, will change your life. With some tea and a warm blanket, there is nothing better than a book. Some recommendations from the Odyssey staff are: The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde, Butterfly by Sonya Hartnett, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, and Siddharta by Hermann Hesse.

3. Go to thrift stores.

An experience all alone can boost your confidence and be a rewarding self-exploring journey... but it can aslo be a new way to meet new people and learn about your town. The activities you do can be as simple as going to the movies or treating yourself to a nice dinner.

6. Treat yo' self.

As cliché as it sounds, it does work on making a big change in your life as it lowers your stress levels and releases the feel-good chemicals, such as: endorphin, oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine. For example, did you know that dark chocolate releases the same feeling as when you fall in love? So go on! Have a grand feast! Fall in love with yourself.

7. Get a pet.

Whether it's a fish or a Labrador, a pet will make a change in your monochromatic lifestyle with their own exuberant happiness or their quiet company, improving you mental health and lowering stress levels.

8. Meet new people.

Try to volunteer at an old folk's home and talk to them. They always have some good stories to tell! Meet your neighbors and befriend them. Go to coffee-shops and make conversation with strangers, even if you are a little awakward. It will make you more confident and who knows? Maybe you'll have new friends!

Isn't even amazing how easy you can change your whole life?

So go on, explore, change, be wild! The future is near, but for now, enjoy the present. Make the most of 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.
