I think that I can speak for many kids with strict parents when I say that it is not the easiest thing in the world to deal with. While my friends are all having sleepovers and going out late at night, I am cleaning my room and helping with the chores. Here are a few things that you may just hear slip out of your mother or father's mouth if you live in a household with strict parents:

1. "When will you be back?"

2. "Who is going?"

3. "Where are you going?"

4. "Will their parents be there?"

5. "Not until you're done with your chores."

6. "It's a school night. No, you can not have a sleepover."

7. "I will give you some spending money if you do a little work around the house."

8. "A party? I don't think so."

9. "He better come meet us before he picks you up."

10. "Don't you dare use that word in my household."

11. "Not a sip of alcohol until you're 21."

12. "You are not wearing that to school. Go change."

13. "No, you can't know the parental code for the TV."

14. "I called you ten times, where have you been?"

15. "You need to tell me when you switch locations."

16. "Call me when you get there."

17. "You better have your feet in this door by 11 p.m. or you're grounded."

18. "Leave your phone downstairs before you go to bed so that we know that it is off."

19. "Who are you texting?"

20. "You can't leave until your homework is done."

But, we all know that they just have these rules to keep us safe and because they care. Shout out to all of the strict parents out there, keeping us "grounded."

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.
