Yerd? It's a yearbook nerd.

11 Reasons You’re Glad You Took Yearbook In High School

Your yearbook is something you expected every year to end up in your lap or in your mailbox, but sometimes little thought goes to those who actually help create it. However, those who did work hard on the book can all relate to these 11 things.

1. Interviewing all the cute jocks and social butterflies

"So how much time do you spend working on the off-season, babe? I mean Gabe!"

2. Gawking at pictures of all the cute jocks and social butterflies.

Oops, look what accidentally just became my screen saver.

3. You loved that no surprise unflattering pictures of you would show up.

But Becky kissed my boyfriend and karma supports my decision to print this (kidding, that never happened... but you had that power).

4. Press passes that allowed you into all clubs and to the sidelines of all sporting events.

"This is so cool! Oh jeez, please please please don't hit me with a ball -- this camera costs more than your purebred dog."

5. The staff went from strangers to best friends to family.

I'm doing everything I can not to cry saying goodbye to my staff at the end of the year.

6. You know a lot of the school gossip before much of the rest of the school

Basically the cheer coach is quitting, but you didn't hear it from me. Unless people are happy about it then you definitely heard it from me.

7. It’s one of the only classes where you could talk to your friends while listening to music on your phone, sipping a vanilla latte.

"So then I accidentally called Gabe babe! Oh, can you hold my drink for a sec? I need to switch this song."

8. You felt like you had so much power knowing the theme for the yearbook a year before everyone else does.

No seriously, this is top secret information.

9. Your note-taking skills drastically improved from your speedwriting during an interview.

How much does a tape recorder cost? Add it to my Christmas list.

10. You learned a whole new language and you didn’t even realize it.

"Yerd." "Colophon." "Mugshot." "Rule of thirds."

11. There’s nothing like the pure joy you feel when the book is published.

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.
