There are many things you can do in my hometown of Niskayuna, New York. I grew up in this town in upstate New York and I love the various range of places I can visit. I know all the best places to go in my hometown of Niskayuna, New York. Here are my five things you must do when visiting Niskayuna, New York:

1. Attend a sporting event

Niskayuna is a town where sports is a big deal such as lacrosse, soccer, football, and basketball. You can always find a game to attend at Niskayuna High School whether you went to that high school or not.

2. Explore nature trails or parks

Niskayuna has some AMAZING nature trails, and parks that you can use to either hike, let out some steam by running around or have a nice family picnic. River Road and Blatnick Park are the two places where it is good to run around play a game of softball, play on the playground or just stroll through the woods. You can also go hiking at the Lisha Kill Preserve where it is so calm and peaceful

3. Visit Central Park

You can check out Central Park (no not Central Park in NYC) but in Schenectady, NY. Central Park has a swimming pool, playground, trails to walk on and a beautiful rose garden. Central Park is located in our county and is close by. Take gorgeous pictures right in the beautiful Rose Garden.

4. Visit Locke 7 (aka the Erie Canal)

Locke 7 aka Erie Canal is a cool place to visit on a summer day because if you are lucky enough you might be able to see a boat pass through! The area around the Erie Canal also makes a great sledding hill!

5. Catch a show at Proctor's Theater

Catch a show at Proctor's Theater. There are plenty of amazing shows whether it is a small little-known show to shows that have been preformed on Broadway. There also have a little movie theater where you can watch a movie that is not playing in the movie theater at a mall.

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.

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.
