GroupMe has made group messaging all the more easier between iPhone and Android users alike; saving relationships between technologically-conflicting friends, helping groups function much more efficiently (sure, kind of, not really) and coordinating plans between people in the simplest of ways (said no one ever).

Since coming to college, I’ve acquired numerous GroupMe groups, some more entertaining and active than others. Nonetheless, there are a few common trends found in the best of them. Here are 11 for you.

1. Memes.

Your group name has also probably been some variation of “Meme Team” at one point or another.

2. The vicious cycle of removing and re-adding members.

Everyone has the power over one another’s fates. No one is safe.

3. YELLING!

LOTS OF CAPITAL LETTERS. MUCH EXCITEMENT.

4. Anywhere between five and 500 messages being sent in a matter of minutes.

Look away for five minutes and find yourself lost in a highly intensive conversation and realize that it’s far too late to contribute.

5. Talks of plans that never actually solidify.

When everyone plans to go to dinner at 6 p.m., that soon turns into 6:30 p.m., 7:45 p.m., 8 p.m., 8:30 p.m. and then never mind, no one is hungry so you either starve or go alone.

6. Awkward moments in which no one responds.

*Instantaneous thoughts of “Wait, was it something I said?” followed by moderate fits of anxiety until someone changes the subject*

7. Experiencing ten seconds of pride when someone likes your message.

That lil blushing heart makes you blush a lil inside too. Admit it.

8. Roasting.

No one is excused from heckling, jabbering or tormenting, but just know that that means you're loved by your friends — maybe. Well, let’s just say if you're not made fun of now and then you should be concerned.

9. Changing your profile to anything but your God given name.

What’s even better is when everyone switches names with other people in the group so no one knows who the hell anyone is.

10. Seeing someone type a message that is never sent.

Oh, what could have been. How agonizing.

11. Innocent arguments turn hostile.

Maybe tacking 'lol' onto the end of this will lighten the tension.

Despite the frustrations and occasional awkwardness, you'll never want to tune out of the GroupMe.

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.
