Most believe that the on-campus dorm life is a must, but here in Austin, that type of living is optional. Off-campus luxury dorms create a new definition of what the “college experience” actually is; as for the Callaway House, this bougie habitat takes it to a new level. Here are 13 things its residents know all too well:

1. Being late to class because the elevators took so long.

2. Losing your key fob daily...

or nightly...

3. The highlight of your weekend is the Sunday night dinner featuring chicken, cornbread, pasta and mac and cheese.

4. You feel more than uncomfortable when passing the security guards late at night.

5. When you check your email and see a message from “EZTrackit,” it’s like Christmas.

6. Your low-key crush on the people working the front desk. It's just a little crush...

7. You high-key hate the cafeteria hours.

8. One of your neighbor's rooms is always loud, or the other type of loud...

9. Sharing a study room with a stranger(s) and feeling so much tension, you could cut it with a knife.

10. You have almost died several times in the parking garage.

11. Knowing that everyone’s doors are unlocked, but respecting their boundaries anyway.

12. “Burnt things in a microwave” is your favorite hallway smell.

13. When you hang out at another friend’s dorm, you feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for where you live.

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.
