If you are in your twenties you may be figuring out life just like me. You are probably in college or just graduated and out in the real world. I don't need to remind you that every once in a while life just sucks. No one said life was going to be a walk in the park. Life gets complicated some times and people suck, but that's the joy in the mess. Here are some things I'm learning as I wander through my twenties.

1. Life is too short to not eat dessert.

2. Don't argue with people that aren't worth your time.

3. Never let anyone make you feel worthless.

4. No one will make you happy but yourself.

5. Not everyone will agree with you. So move on.

6. Don't look at the past, but keep moving towards your future.

7. If you're in a bad relationship then leave them. You're in your twenties go have fun.

8. Always stick to your morals.

9. Stay grounded in what you believe in.

10. Communicate. No sense in holding all that in

11. It's ok to have a couple of mental break downs.

12. Be yourself.

13. You're going to find someone who loves you. Chill, remember you're only in your twenties!

14. Don't be normal because it's boring, so just be the best version of you.

15. Get rid of toxic people. Life is way too short for people who are not worthy.

16. Fight for what you love and who you love.

17. Who cares what people think about you.

18. It's ok to make mistakes, that's life.

19. Don't let people be mean to you. Stick up for you.

20. Embrace everything life throws at you.

21. Trust your instincts. Always.

22. Stop comparing yourself to everyone in this world.

23. Let it go. Some things aren't worth your time.

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.
