Life is stressful, there's no denying that. In the rush of everyday life, it becomes all to easy for the little sources of light in our lives to become invisible. It's important to stop and reflect every now and then, and take a look around you to appreciate the beauty in our lives. Last semester, I created a list of 55 Reasons to Smile, and quickly realized that 55 was not enough. So, here's a list of some more things to smile about:

1. Great pictures of the sky

2. Hearing birds chirping

3. The first day of spring

4. The feeling of accomplishing a major task

5. Reaching your Fitbit step goal

6. Watching your pet do something funny

7. The smell of freshly mown grass

8. Getting your eyeliner just right

9. When your bed is the most comfortable thing you've ever felt

10. Chocolate

11. Good friends

12. The sound rain makes on the roof

13. Seeing how much someone loves their dog

14. Old home videos

15. Soft serve ice cream

16. Hot showers

17. Having the opportunity to start fresh

18. Fitting way too many people into a tiny photo booth

19. Hedgehogs

20. Little kids on Christmas morning

21. The stars on a clear night

22. Stickers that peel off cleanly

23. Dancing when nobody's watching

24. Painted nails

25. Admiring how blue the sky is on a cloudless day

26. Laughing until your stomach hurts and you can't breathe

27. Being offered help when you really need it

28. Warm sheets fresh out of the dryer

29. Musicals

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

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.

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.
