5 Advantages Of Having a Birthday At The End Of The Year

You may always get teased for being the youngest of your friends, but those summer babies don't know what they're missing out on! Here are some great things about having a birthday towards the end of the calendar year:

1. The holidays are just around the corner.

Whether your birthday is closer to Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's, there's always a holiday to look forward to while you're wrapped up in that post-birthday depression.

2. You can have fall and winter themed birthday celebrations.

Even if you don't have a full-blown birthday party, you still have the freedom to go pumpkin picking, build a snowman, or just make a nice cup of cocoa... ON YOUR BIRTHDAY.

3. You don't have to go through the hassle of throwing a pool party/BBQ.

There are a lot of advantages that go with this. You don't need to shave your legs or have that perfect bikini body, you don't have to rely on the weather to be nice, you don't need to get all of the supplies needed for an outdoor party... the list goes on and on.

4. You'll be the last of your group of friends who has to face the inevitable arrival of adulthood.

From paying taxes to living on your own, it's quite a lot to adjust to. If you're the youngest in your group of friends, you can cling to your childhood that much longer.

5. It makes you unique.

Spring and summer babies seem to be so common, right? Sooo mainstream. But being born at the end of the year is something pretty special, and not many people realize that.

So ignore your friends that are celebrating getting way too old way too quickly with a pool party for the 6th year in a row, and bask in the awesomeness that is your birthday.

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.
