There's always that one friend in the group that's the glue that holds everyone together. Literally. They're the ones that are making sure everyone is safe and taken care of, and put together - and pulling them back together when they're not. When you are that friend, it comes with it's fair share of struggles.


1. People have higher expectations for you




2. Everyone depends on you all the time



3. Everyone expects you to always have the answers




4. It’s really hard to tell your friends "no", and even harder for them to accept it


5. Everyone always asks to borrow things


6. You’re always feeding everyone and cleaning up after them




7. You’re the shoulder to cry on




8. With your friends you have to be prepared for literally anything when leave your house




9. You’re expected to be the D.D. whenever necessary




10. You have to stay a little more together when drinking




11. You’re the one that takes control in emergency situations



12. You’re constantly apologizing for your friend’s behavior


13. Which means, you’ve learned to be really good at talking you and your friends out of sticky situations



14. You're always the one taking care of people that are tooooo drunk



15. You can’t not give a shit




16. Sometimes you’re envious of your friend’s carefree attitudes



17. You hate feeling like the mom friend – but you sooo are




18. Sometimes you just want to like chill and not have it all together, but then you take it too far



19. Which leads to: No one knows how to handle you when you lose your shit





But that's okay, because you can always handle your own shit, right?

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.
