Water Street: A place where dreams come true. (Okay, so maybe not). Water Street in Eau Claire is home to many local bars and shops in which UW-Eau Claire students frequent as well as EC residents. Over the past year it has been rather difficult to get down to Water Street because of the construction on the Water Street bridge. (Don't worry, the locals were still able to find a way there). During this week, great news has been revealed to many local residents and college students alike: the Water Street bridge will be opened by back up by the start of the new school year. Here are a few things we thought were going to happen before the re-opening of the Water Street bridge.

1. Drake Bell would finally have a kid and name it "Taco".

2. Tupac would be found alive living in the basement of The Pickle.

3. Light up sneakers would make a comeback.

4. The UW-Eau Claire mascot would be changed from a Blugold to a squirrel.

5. Hoverboards.

6. The UWEC Class of 2016 would be having kids graduating from high school.

7. Chancellor Jim would appear on "The Voice".

8. The Vikings finally win a Super Bowl.

9. The Cubs finally win the World Series.

10. People don't talk about Harambe anymore.

11. Zombie Apocalypse.

12. LeBron James retires as a member of the Flint Tropics.

13. Eminem starts his bluegrass music career.

14. We find Carmen Sandiego.

15. One Direction gets back together.

16. The ending of "Inception" has been figured out.

17. Time travel is a thing.

18. Netflix carries all of the Disney movies. (Yes, all those ones that you have on VHS).

19. TV10 wins an Emmy Award.

20. Ashton Kutcher stops appearing in TV shows as "the young stupid guy". (That 70's Show, Dude, Where's My Car?, The Ranch, etc. We get it).

21. Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho is President.

22. Zoey and Chase from Zoey 101 get married.

23. Wonder balls come back for good.

24. New York City stops getting attacked by evil villains in movies. (I can't be the only one that notices it's always NYC being attacked, right?)

25. The Hill has a ski lift to use during the winter.

As you get ready to head back to school, just rejoice at the fact that the Water Street bridge will be back in action for you to cross to head to your house or favorite establishment. You feel so happy right now that you could dance, don't you? Go ahead and dance. The bridge is back and traffic can finally flow again...until there is more construction elsewhere next year.

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.
