1. “There’s no way that’s true.”

This thought comes to mind as you sit in TPL at 10 p.m. trying to find something to do, waiting for the text to go to a house party and looking back at the times that you called it a night at 11 p.m.

2. “Woah, what about Pleasantville? They don’t even have buses.”

Oh the classic chant, “We have buses.” Yes, you think this could be true, but then you realize that Pleasantville has Michaels, McDonalds and Don Juans. But we’re still better than them because, you know, we have buses.

3. “There’s gotta be more boring towns in upstate New York.”

The thought that comes up in your group chats when you think that there must be other towns that have population of just below 8,000 with the majority of people above 44 years old.

4. “Maricio and Carlos have The Patio lit thoough.”

And what about the hungover squad that was greeted with chicken quesadillas, patio wraps and omelets on Saturdays at noon? Or when the whole school would show up after exams on midterm and finals week. Is that considered fun?

5. “But we have Rocky’s…”

It’s 1 a.m. and people packed into three cars roll in to get Liz B’s and Hashtags walk into a deli, and see 10 of their friends also getting Liz B’s and Hashtags.

6. “Is that Millwood?”

Then you realize, you’re not in Briarcliff anymore.

7. “I do wish there were other things to do other than driving around blasting music for hours.”

Blasting your squad’s favorite song while driving back and forth from The View to the High School can get a little boring.

8. “I mean I guess our weekends are most of the time non-existent."

Looking back at the many Friday and Saturday nights where you waited for that one text when someone says there’s something to do, but you never got it. So you really cherished those rare days that the one college kid comes home and you knew he was going to throw a banger, even the occasional heated tent. And you know something is happening when every girl has a 100 second snap story to cherish the rare moments of a fun weekend.

9. “Boring is what I would consider having to resort to a Cul-De-Sac or a golf course over the summer.”

Don’t you miss those days? The days where we could all bring blankets and have everyone chill and talk at the golf course with possible games of dizzy bat, even though every one would peace after half an hour.

10. “Maybe we are the most boring town.”

Rethink it all. Rethink all your past high school, middle school and elementary school experiences where everyone knows everyone and you rarely meet anyone new. Is "The Cliff" really that eventful?

11. “That’s what you get for being the safest.”

'Cliff was rated the safest city in New York in 2015. This definitely makes sense when one robbery in many years gets the most attention ever or when kids start a fight in the cafeteria it’s the biggest deal.

12. “I hope my camp / college friends don’t see this…”

This is embarrassing. If my town is considered boring, am I considered boring, too?

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.
