Hey college, whatcha doing?

College is fun. College is overwhelming. College is stressful. College is awesome. Honestly, I could use a lot of adjectives to describe the college experience, but I'm going to let the cast of "New Girl" do that instead. I just recently started watching the show, and I can safely say it's one of the best, most time-consuming decisions I have ever made. I found it extremely relatable. So I present to you "College: The 'New Girl' Edition."

1. The feeling when you see the male equivalent of Beyonce walking across campus

You may not even know his name, but who cares? He's perfection, and that is all that matters.

2. Whoa, you actually made above an 80 on that presentation?

Even though you prepared for hours and had your entire speech memorized, you got nervous and expected a much lower grade. Turns out, you were wrong. You did awesome. Way to go, you!

3. Sometimes, though, the presentation doesn't go so well, and everyone just gives you strange looks the entire time.

You said "um" far too often and managed to stutter several times, and now you just seem ridiculously unprepared even though you probably ran through the presentation about 23 times.

4. When students from the local middle school come to visit your campus, it irks you.

This really shouldn't bother you, but for some reason, it just does. It throws the whole "college campus aura" off. Also, they eat all of the food in the Caf that you paid thousands of dollars for, and break the soft-serve machine while they're at it.

5. When you have to say "hi" to your professor after skipping their class that day, you cringe.

Whether you had a valid excuse, like a doctor's appointment, or just weren't feeling class that day, there is nothing quite as awkward as seeing your professor after you didn't show up to their class. My bad.

6. Seeing couples actually sort of makes you sick.

You understand that couples will do couple-y things, but can't they do it somewhere besides in a booth in the Student Center?

7. When you've had a rough day and just want to be alone.

Whether it be because of a test that went horribly or you tripped in front of a bunch of people, some days are pretty rough and you just want to be alone. While you love your friends, you don't want them in your room right now. You just want to listen to Taylor Swift.

8. When it finally hits you how real the freshman 15 is.

You always thought this was a myth, and now that you realize it's the real deal ... you're still not doing anything about it. You may try to eat less food, but that plan lasts for about a week and then it's back to doughnuts and pasta.

9. When you should have stayed on campus and studied for your 8 a.m. test the next morning, but you couldn't resist that 10 p.m. Cook Out run.

Sure, you haven't studied once for this test, but you also haven't had Cook Out since yesterday. It's an obvious (bad) decision.

10. When you go out in public with your friends, the fun never ends.

You're all ridiculously embarrassing and have probably gotten a few unadmirable glances, but who cares? You're having fun!

11. When you know that your roommate will have your back for life and that they're your best friend in the universe.

If you're like me, no one beats your roommate. They're your best friend, and you don't even want to think about how dreadfully normal your life would be without them.

12. You wouldn't trade this experience for anything, because you've made the greatest memories with the greatest friends.

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.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
