When you move away to college, your mom will probably text you daily. Whether it's just to say hello or to remind you to call your uncle to wish him a happy birthday, she's always got a reason. How many of these text messages do you recieve from your mom while you're away at school?

1. "When will you be home next?"

This is her way of telling you that she misses you a lot and wants you to come home this weekend, or ASAP.

2. "Have you met anyone cute lately?"

Every mom is SUPER invested in their child's love life, even if they don't act like it. While you lived at home, she could secretly look over your shoulder. Now that you're away at college, she has to resort to texting you for updates.

3. "Don't over-work yourself!"

Your mom really does have your best interest in mind. So, take her advice and don't over-work yourself.

4. "Do you need money?"

Somehow, she always sends this text right when you need it. As a college student, it's hard to keep your bank account over $11.48 and it's always helpful when your mom can spare a few extra dollars.

5. "Good morning! I hope you weren't up too late last night!"

Personally, I have my mom on all social media (including Snapchat), so she always knows when I'm out until four A.M. She still sends me these texts though, just to make sure I am sleeping every once in a while.

6. "I miss you lots!"

It's nice to be reminded that our moms miss us just as much as we miss them. We may get homesick, but I'm sure that they often dream about driving up to our universities and scooping us up for the weekend!

7. "When is the last time you ate?"

Well, I ate a fruit roll up a few hours ago... And a McDonald's sandwich this morning... Oh, the last time I ate a homecooked meal? Probably the last time I was home...

8. "Are you coming to the next family event/holiday?"

It's often hard to make the trip home for every family event, but how can you say no to your mom?

9. "How's your car running?"

It's nice to know that even from hours away, your mom is still looking out for you.

10. "How are your classes going?"

Even though college is a special experience, the main reason for being there is so that you can get an education. So, when your mom asks you about your classes, talk to her about them. I'm sure she'd love to hear you rant about your biology professor or that hard exam you took yesterday.

11. "I love you!"

"I love you too, Mom!" And more than you'll ever know.

12. "Tell me all about your roommates!"

I think this text is secretly her inviting you to rant about why your roommates are currently annoying you.

13. "Your pets miss you!"

These texts usually come with a picture attached and a phone call later in the day so that your "pets" can spend some quality time on the phone with you.

14. "What are you learning in your classes?"

This is her secret "Mom-Way" of asking how many classes you skipped this week and if you actually paid attention in the ones that you did go to... LOL.

15. "Have fun while you're away, but be safe!"

Every mom knows that they can't control their child's life while they're away at college, and they don't want to. All they want to do is make sure that their child is having fun while being safe.

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.
