There's no doubt about it, there are some really weird Southern belle things you just have to adjust to, but once you do you'll be sure to love it. If you are a Northern girl who joined a Southern sorority, you could definitely relate.

1. You were uninformed about the strict dress code of norts (Nike shorts) and oversized pocket-tees.

And you were completely appalled by it at first.

2. You’re absolutely ridiculed every time you integrate “y’all” into your vocabulary.

And you were probably in shock the first time it slipped into a sentence.

3. You’re one of the few girls that don’t have everything they own monogrammed.

4. You will probably never understand the Lily Pulitzer craze.

5. You’ve become weirdly drawn to southern accents.

Oh, Matthew McConaughey, we all love you.

6. Your accent is the core of a lot of jokes.

“Say coffee, now say dog, now say water… yup, definitely a Yankee.”

7. You over use southern slang.

Especially, shack/shacker.

8. You’re constantly finding boys to kill cockroaches that end up in your dorm.

We certainly don’t have those monstrous creatures in the north.

9. You had no idea how to paint your first formal cooler.

Remember, it’s what’s on the inside that counts.

10. You didn’t know the importance of glitter

Putting some on your face before a party is totally srat.

11. You’ve learned to love country music.

Well, kind of.

12. You’re constantly on the search for a good salon that offers keratin or some other hair treatment.

I mean really with this humidity!

13. The beauty of your house takes your breath away every time you pass by.

Nothing compares to the beauty of an old southern mansion.

14. You started drinking Jack Daniels.

15. Your friends back home jokingly call you a Southern Belle.

And you totally feel like Allie from "The Notebook" when they do.

16. You’ve had to seriously invest in game-day dresses and cowboy boots.

No more ripped jeans, Timberlands and cute tailgate tees.

17. You totally underestimated the intensity of formal recruitment.

18. You never thought you could appreciate fast food chains as much as you do.

Seriously, your obsession with Chick-Fil-A and Raising Caine’s is getting out of control.

19. You adore peoples’ ranch stories.

And you try to relate them to your beach house stories.

20. You were extremely underprepared for all the themed parties and the costumes that go along with them.

Seriously, it's like every weekend is Halloween!

21. You never want to go back to the frigid north.

People and the weather are just not as nice up there.

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.
