College students are truly a different species all in their own way.

College students are truly a different species all in their own way. Here's just a few things we do:

1) You've mastered watching Netflix and listening to a lecture all at the same time.


2) Getting ready in the dark because you're running late? Check.


3) You've worn the same outfit at least four times in a row

4) You've given up caring how you look when going to class.

5) You pray every night December-February that it'll snow so classes get cancelled.


6) "Hit me, I dare you," you say as you cross the street and a car approaches.


7) Debating if it's really worth it to buy that textbook.


8) You've mastered the art of studying until 2 am the night before an exam and still get an A.


9) Waking up each morning and debating if you can skip class or not.

10) The stab you feel when the professor says the word limit for a aper.


11) Midterm season makes you want to clock out, finals season is even worse.

12) Second semester is the worst semester.


13) Christmas break is never long enough, even if it is a month long.


14) Holding your breath after walking up stairs so no one knows how out of shape you are.


15) You're greatest achievement is finishing all 9 seasons of a show in a single weekend.

16) Passing the gym every day saying tomorrow will be the day you start going.


17) Refreshing your email before a class just to make sure you didn't miss the 'class is cancelled' email.


18) Submitting a paper right as it's due.


19) For commuters: silence on the drive to campus, music blasting as you're leaving.


20) Avoiding 8 ams like the plague.

21) You use Rate My Professor as you walk into the class for the first time.


22) Free is your favorite word.


23) Naps are always on your list of things to do for that day.


24) You know that your study guide will never contain everything that will be on the exam.


25) You spend all your money on food and retail therapy.

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.
