February has officially arrived, which can only mean one thing: Spring break is right around the corner! Will you tighten your beach body and make way to California as usual, or will you try something new this year? In case you decide to branch out from the typical destination, here are a few places to keep in mind:

1. Vancouver, Canada

Where outdoors enthusiasm meets inner-city excitement, Vancouver has a little bit of something for everyone. Grab your passport, pick your method of transportation, and begin an adventure Canadian style!

2. Havasupai Falls, Arizona

Big fan of hiking? Give this trek a try! Havasupai falls will leave you with an entirely new appreciation for nature and a craving for more adventures in the Arizona wilderness.

3. New York, New York

Trade in your bikini for a Broadway ticket this spring break! New York City, although a little chilly in March, can be a fun destination for diversity, history, and the bright lights of a city that never sleeps!

4. Austin, Texas

Tour the infamous 6th street and learn how locals here find ways to keep it weird. Austin is perfect for the little hippie hiding inside each and every one of us.

5. Boulder, Colorado

Do you like beer? Do you like mountains? Then you should probably check out Boulder. Also, it has a lot of young life and adventure opportunities which is perfect for a unique spring break trip.

6. Lake Havasu, Arizona

There's something about lakes and boats that turn people into complete animals. Climb on top of a keg or party all night with some of the craziest college students you'll ever meet.

7. Park City, Utah

Did someone say ski trip? Have the time of your life and meet people from around the world in this dream winter sports destination. One thing's for sure: Utah holds the key to the ultimate adventure.

8. Anywhere in Hawaii

Still craving the ocean and sand between your toes? Hawaii is perfect for the outdoors enthusiast, the beach bum, and the party animal. Catch some waves and enjoy some great hikes and fun people!

9. Las Vegas, Nevada

For the bravest of party animals, Las Vegas will not disappoint. Gamble by night and hit up the pool parties and raves by day. There is something happening 24/7, so sleep may not be an option.

10. New Orleans, Louisiana

Immerse yourself in culture and have an amazing time enjoying everything the Crescent City has to offer. Good food, great nightlife, and memories unlike any other will wait for you in this gem of a town.

11. Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Spring break in the Smokies has more in store than one may think. Climb off the beaten path with hikes, white water rafting, and sky lifts. Or, enjoy the hospitality of a mountain town and have a spring break you'll never forget.

No matter where you go or what you do this spring break, remember to stay safe and enjoy everything your location has to offer. Forget about exams, let go, and live in the moment that you have been given.

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.
