My first year of college is almost over. How did that happen? Here are 20 things that happened to me this semester:

1. I realized that my roommate talks in her sleep.

2. I thought I saw a dead body at the park.

3. I turned my Twitter into a Dream Street fan page.

4. I (kind of) learned how to sew.

5. I FINALLY got a new phone. Mine isn't cracked anymore.

6. I joined the Connection Team at my college ministry.

7. I became best friends with one of the greatest people I know. I'm talking to you, Ana.

8. I saw a little boy face plant a chair.

9. I changed my major.

10. I figured out that if you flip the first letter of cookie dough, it becomes dookie cough.

11. I logged back into to my Webkinz account and got to reunite with my children.

12. I listened to a guy scream and play a cello in a place that smelt like cats.

13. I spent way too much money at a coffee shop. Just Love, you are too good.

14. I had another mental breakdown.

15. I went to my first fashion show.

16. I realized that my setting spray smells like lettuce.

17. I got addicted to The Bachelor.

18. Jordan Fisher said 'hey' to me in a live video. No big deal.

19. My sister saw Hamilton. That counts as happening to me, right?

20. I wrote for Odyssey (and you should, too.)

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.
