When flying isn't an option, many University of Alabama students drive from campus back to their homes. If you're like me, the drive takes up an entire day and is a pretty big mental commitment as well. Here are some things anyone with a long enough commute (especially students driving up I-65) can relate to.

1. This won't be too bad.

2. I'm already yawning. Crap.

3. How am I gonna make it?

4. Do I have enough to think about to last the entire drive?

5. There is not enough coffee in the world for this.

6. Oh, wait, there might be.

7. So this is what a "trenta" is.

8. I feel like I forgot something...

9. Crap — yeah, I forgot something. But I'm too far away to turn back. Great.

10. It's really hard to play road trip games by yourself.

11. Wow, that's a lot of road kill.

12. This playlist I made is great. Maybe I should be a professional DJ.

13. What's that one song I really want to listen to called ... oh, well.

14. I need a cooler car to do these roads justice.

15. Wait no I didn't mean that - please don't break down on me - I love you the most.

16.Look at me: I'm a driver, DJ, and a copilot. I should get paid for this.

17. I don't even need a copilot.

18. Wait — was that the last gas station for 21 miles?

19. My current location might actually be "the middle of nowhere".

20. At least it looks nice.

21. So what am I gonna do what I get home?

22. What am I gonna eat?

23. Some nice looking goats.

24. That's a lot of cows chilling under one tree.

24. Not even sure what kind of animal that other one was.

25. Is it too late to drop out of school and raise farm animals?

26. What song is stuck in my head right now?

27. ...seven-seven-three two-oh-two *beep beep boop beep* Luna!

28. Should I have asked to see if anyone from my area needed a ride home for break?

29. Nah my car dance moves are too good to be seen by other people.

30. Wow, gas is expensive.

31. *adds "Gas Station Gift Cards" to wishlist*

32. Wow, America is so pretty.

33. Am I there yet?

34. What's the speed limit?

35. Eh, it's more of a suggestion anyway.

36. Will Mr. Brightside ever get old?

37. It's after 9 a.m. ... carpool lane here I come.

38. When was the last time I stood up?

39. When did gas prices jump up 50 cents?

40. Hahaha, Tennessee Fans.

41. Siri: "Continue on I-65 North for 285 Miles" ... %*#&!

42. Stop interrupting the best part of my songs, Siri.

43. When did all of these bugs get all over my windshield?

44. What state am I in?

45. I guess Armadillos are in Indiana now.

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.
