And then they are bored of me

Since you last held her hand
She'll fight for you like hell
Then force herself to like some other man

Though I try to see you differently
I tow the line
You see, I’m searching for what used to be mine

When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Are said too much
They're not enough

I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

Then who the hell was I?
Now I'm breaking at the bridges
And at the end of all your lines

Promise that I will not take it personal baby
If you're moving on with someone new


10. "Sorry" by Halsey


Best lyric: I've missed your calls for months it seems
Don't realize how mean I can be

I didn't mean to try you on
But I still know your birthday
And your mother's favorite song


11. "A Drop in the Ocean" by Ron Pope


Best lyric: A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together

And tonight, girl, it's only you and me

How dare you say it's nothing to me
Baby, you're the only light I ever saw


14. "What Hurts the Most" by Rascal Flatts

But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken


15. "Writer in the Dark" by Lorde


Best lyric: Break the news, you're walking out
To be a good man for someone else
Sorry I was never good like you
Stood on my chest and kept me down
Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd
Did my best to exist just for you


16. "All Too Well" by Taylor Swift


Best lyric: Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it

After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own
Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone

Best lyric: We know full well there's just time
So is it wrong to toss this line?
If your heart was full of love
Could you give it up?

No, it's not a good look, gain some self-control
And deep down I know this never works
But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt

Best lyric: And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye

That ripples through your clothes
It's closer than your shadow
Oh, I'm jealous of the wind

Best lyric: Policeman says, "Son, you can't stay here."
I said, "There's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year.
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows.
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go."

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.
