5 Reasons To Get a Library Card

We sometimes take our access to public libraries for granted. Libraries should not be as overlooked as they are, and here are 5 reasons why!

1. FREE WIFI As if saying that isn’t enough. Free wifi is something we all love. Well it’s free and after all it is wifi. Libraries are the perfect place to bring your laptop and do some homework in peace and quiet.

2. If you didn’t already know, due to ever growing technology capabilities, you can now borrow and renew books at home So if it’s the return date for a book and you’re not feeling up to returning it, your online library account is only a few clicks away! This also means you don’t have to spend much time in the library if you don’t want to, you can just pick up the books you checked out at the desk!

3. Did you know that at the library they usually sells books for a super low price? While you’re out spending money at the book store you probably could find the exact same book for cheaper at the library.

4. Need something to read or looking for something in specific? Librarians are the perfect reference guides for whatever book/magazine you may be looking for. Not only can they make a recommendation to you, but they can also tell you right where it is.

5. It’s all FREE Why not join somewhere where you can do homework, use computers, read books and hangout at; all for free? It absolutely wouldn’t hurt and the benefits it offers for your grades, knowledge and sanity are definitely awesome!

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.
