There is no such thing as too many books to be honest.

12 Things Only Bookworms Understand

You were probably that kid growing up with your noise stuck in a book. If you weren't or if you were, your noise is stuck in a book now as an adult.

1. Pulling an all-nighter to finish a book.

Giphy

You just have to know how it ends or maybe you got stuck in the endless 'just one more chapter' phenomenon.

2. Having more books than will fit on your bookshelf.

Giphy

Honestly, you just need a new bookshelf.

3. Buying more books

Giphy

Even if you have a bunch of books you haven't read yet.

4. Having a list of books to you want to read.

Giphy

It just grows and grows and you can't keep up with it but you wouldn't want it any other way.

5. The joy of going to the bookstore.

Giphy

And spending hours there.

6. Meeting an author you like.

Giphy

And end up glad you spent so many hours in line and (maybe) drove far to get there.

7. The joy of starting a new book.

Giphy

And falling in love with it almost immediately. Plus who needs reality.

8. The pain of waiting for the next book in a series to come out.

Giphy

Especially if the previous book ended on a cliffhanger.

9. A beloved book turning into a movie.

Giphy

And it's really well done! (Although that is rare... sadly)

10. Discussing a beloved book with someone who also loves it.

Giphy

Especially if it's not a well known book.

11. Lending out a book to someone.

Giphy

And having them text you like "OMG THAT DID NOT JUST HAPPEN!" and freaking out together.

12. The joy of just getting to sit down and read.

Giphy

Because not much is better.

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.
