15 Signs You Go To The College Of William And Mary
William and Mary

Bleeding with Green and Gold pride, the College of William and Mary is home to around 8,500 students. Despite the wonderful diversity at the school, there are some common struggles and inside jokes that most, if not all, students understand. Here are 15 signs you go to William and Mary and are a true member of the Tribe:

1. When you tell your friends you're going to "Swem" but it autocorrects to "swim" so your friends think you're going for a swim in the middle of December.

2. You have way more meal swipes than you need so you end up swiping in for coffee and ice cream on Tuesday.

3. You're stuck with watching upperclassmen fill up classes because they have priority registration.

4. You're an upperclassman and finally get the privilege of having priority registration.

5. You avoid wearing flip flops when you're going to study on the third floor of Swem.

6. You remember the terrors of freshmen housing.

7. When you go to The Crust, you get a skillet cookie. No exceptions.

8. You hold your breath every time you go return your dishes at the Caf because the dish return reeks of dirty socks and fish.

9. You're terrified of the squirrels and jump every time you hear rustling from the bushes.

10. You've tripped on bricks at least once.

11. You spend way too many nights walking up and down Richmond Road.

12. When your school's ranked #20 for partying in Virginia, and you didn't even realize that there are 20 schools in Virginia.

13. You always say you're interested in AMP events on Facebook but you never go to any of them.

14. You've gotten lost in the ISC at least once.

15. You spend way too much money on late night Wawa runs.

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.
