1. If you don’t have one, develop a sense of rhythm.

It’s for the health of your relationship, really. Rhythm lessons sound cute and fun but there’s no quicker way to test the patience of your beau than clapping off-beat to whatever song is playing.

2. They will “play drums” on everything.The steering wheel, the arm of the couch, their keyboard, the table the air, your butt… The list goes on.

3. At shows, stand near the front corner of the stage.

By standing at the far corner, you’ll get the best possible view of your S.O. while they play their set. Standing front-and-center will give you a great view of the frontman who so notoriously blocks the view of the real prize.

4. Drums are a real instrument.

Do not, even jokingly, suggest otherwise.

5. Holding hands can be risky business.

Holding hands while you’re in the car can be sweet until a uptempo song comes on and your arms are suddenly being flailed around to the beat.

6. They are great multi-taskers.

Drums require great time management and coordination skills. These easily translate into other aspects of their lives, which really benefits your relationship!

7. Cymbals are expensive.

While nothing in their kit comes cheap, cymbals are usually prized possessions that should be treated with a tender love.

8. Drummers are tough.

On top of the physical endurance they need to play their instrument, drummers also tend to get the short end of the stick within their band. They can definitely take a joke or two.

9. They are smart.

Drums are a sport for the body and mind. They have a lot to remember and studies have shown that keeping a steady rhythm can actually help improve brain function!


10. They’re undeniably the best band member to date.

If you’re looking for a serious relationship (or a fun fling) you should chase after a drummer! They are leaders who have a lot to offer.

11. Finally, they break sticks, not hearts.

The kind of love they can give you is undeniably worth putting up with the noise and endless hours spent in music shops.

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.
