Oh... the end of the semester.

Time is winding down, but the work is just beginning.

And with assignments increasing and motivation decreasing, it can be hard to realize the good that is coming your way.

1. Seeing your family more often.

Mom? Dad? It's your daughter. Back again! Remember me?!

2. Focusing more on others instead of yourself.

Did someone say gift buying? Secret Santa, I'm ready for YOU.

3. The FOOD.

Turkey? Mashed potatoes? Holiday cookies? You name it, and chances are I will be eating it.

4. The first snowfall.

Lucky for us CT folks, this one is already checked off and in the books! Sledding, anyone?

5. Parka season.

It's in full effect, baby! And when it's parka season, scarves, uggs, gloves, and winter hats, follow. And truly,the more opportunities there are to bundle, the better!

6. Thanksgiving and winter break.

Ah, freedom at last. Home friends? GATHER! It's our time to shine.

* * *

Oh trust me, I know you want this semester to end. And, at times, it can feel long. But really, take the good with the bad, because this semester will be over before we know it. And who knows, the people you're encountering, the experiences you're living, in the end, you could miss it. Next semester could be ohso different.

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.
