Dating in college can be a bit of a roller coaster with twists and turns taking you on a wild ride. If you take a stroll down your main campus walkway you will see wide range of relationships. Here's just a little sampler of that wide aray.

The Together Since High School

You know this couple. There's probably one in your friend group. They've been dating since their freshman year of high school. In fact, they've probably gotten engaged by their senior year of college. Their families are really good friends. Everyone calls them Mom and Dad.

The Hooked Up Last Night and Not Sure What to do

This couple met each other at a party last night with a few too many drinks. Now, they aren't sure if they're in a relationship or if they should just forget about it. Often times, this couple hangs around for a few days but both decide it's best to go their separate ways.

The We Do Everything Together

You never see them apart. Literally, they do everything together. Sometimes they even finish each other's sentences. Normally has way too many PDAs. They were really cute together for the first couple of weeks but now you're not even sure if they are two separate people.

The We Are in an Adult Relationship

This couple started dating as upperclassmen or even in graduate school. They both are overly responsible and have steady jobs. You're a little jealous of how they have their life together. Their parents absolutely adore the respective significant other. Will most likely be married and have children within the next two years according to their 5 year plan.

The On Again Off Again

You never really know this couple's relationship status and neither does Facebook. Sometimes being around this couple is uncomfortable because you aren't sure if they are together or not. This couple is definitely meant to be but both are a little afraid of commitment.

Whether or not you're involved in any of these types, dating in college has its ups and downs but there's someone out there for everyone.

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.
