If you don't live within a 5 mile radius you probably have never heard of our beautiful small town. For those of us who live in this small town, we all pretty much know each other and we know about the things that make this town special. If you grew up here, you definitely need to check this out, because it's a walk down memory lane.

PS: I'm sorry to my friends for these pictures that are resurfacing, I know these were uncomfortable times for us.

1. You've taken "artsy" pictures here at this "secret" spot.


2. The day you were finally old enough to walk to the center was the best day of your life.



3. You attended S.C.R.A.M during the summer.


4. You were probably a girl scout or boy scout.


5. Which means you probably went to a father-daughter dance held at the most prestigious facility: The Noecker Gym.


6. The Halloween Parade meant you needed to make the best Halloween costume imaginable.



7. You probably played Rec sports, so you've taken one of these pictures before.


8. The softball/baseball opening day ceremonies were intense because you wanted your team's banner to win.



9. You thought about who you were going to be at the Wax Museum for years prior.



10. You've walked the path behind Noecker and have been absolutely terrified.


11. You were scared to graduate from Noecker where there was about 60-80 kids in your class and move onto West Essex.



12. You have to mention towns close by when explaining where Roseland is, because most people haven't heard of it.



13. You've been to a "dad's softball game" and played at the Harrison field before.



14. Trick-or-treating on Monroe Ave meant you got a huge amount of candy every year.



15. You've spent summer days pool hopping and summer nights playing manhunt.


16. You call this game by its proper name "Four Square".


17. We're the town where Cash Cash grew up and we tell everyone about it.


18. You've taken a field trip here.

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.
