5 Pieces of Advice Everyone Could Use

Advice. We all need it. Usually more often than we'd like to admit. I am lucky to have wise individuals in my life, and I have learned a great deal from them, which is why I hope to pass on this wisdom and advice about life to readers like you.

1. No cop no stop.


The rules don't apply to you. You are special. Hey, it's not breaking the law if you don't get caught. So, does it really matter if you skip that one stop sign? That one traffic light? Nope. Therefore, No Cop No Stop.

2. Do everything at the last minute.


This may seem counter-intuitive, but consider this: the stress and panic of the last minute work will ensure that the work you do will be the best you've done. The fear of failure will nest in your subconscious, and will manifest itself in top notch effort and a product unlike those seen before.

3. Solve conflict with violence.


Sure, you can quote great pacifists, and the philosophies of Mahatma Gandhi and MLK, and there are other ways to solve conflict without violence, but those ways aren't always universally applicable. Violence solves everything. Get a bad grade? Attack your professor. Someone disagrees with you? Disagree your fist in their face. I realize that this may not "solve" conflict, and you may go to "prison" for "assault." But at least it feels good. Probably.

4. Drama is proportional to number of friends.


The amount of drama is proportional to the amount of friends and acquaintances you have. The more people in your life, the more potential for drama. This is a good thing because drama builds character! Also if you like soap operas, the perfect way to live one out is to have an increasing number of people in your life.

5. Don't question anything.


People are rational. Why would anyone talk about anything they don't know about? They wouldn't, because people like to talk about what they know. Which means that if someone says something, then they're pretty much guaranteed to be right. Questioning would only muddle things, so why question? Just trust in what you hear. Because no good can come from questioning what people say, trust me on this.

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.
