Ahhhhh, Shippensburg University. So many unique people and experiences to meet and to have.

When you first get here, there are so many new things to get used to, but if there's one thing that sticks out right from the beginning, it's the smells.Though after your first semester you come to expect these, it always takes some time for returning students to reacclimate.

So, here are the top five smells all Shippensburg University students know too well, ranked from worst to least-worst.

1. The distant yet ever-present smell of cow manure.

Regardless if you live on or off campus, chances are this is the first thing you're going to smell in the morning. For locals and people who aren't that far from home anyway, this is a fact of life, but for the rest of us, it's a daily struggle.

2. The smell of a sweaty frathouse basement.

Like most other state universities, Greek life tends to dominate the social scene here at Shippensburg University, and more often than not your weekends out will be spent in the basement of some house whose letters you can't even pronounce. All you know is that you can smell a thousand sweaty armpits, but who cares? You're at a party, it comes with the territory.

3. Greasy C.U.B. food.

The C.U.B., for the most part, serves as the center of daily life here at Shippensburg, and useful as it is for us students, just walking into the food court can be enough to make you break out sometimes.

4. The smell of liquor on people coming back from Richard on a weekend.

Seriously, sometimes it's so bad that you feel like you were right there chugging their bottle with them.

5. Freshly ground coffee at Starbucks.

The most pleasant thing on this list, and the only reason half of us even go to the library at all. You can always trust Starbucks to wake you and your nose up.

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.
