Have you ever wondered: if my relationship were an ice cream, what kind would it be? If not, I'll bet you are now! Whether you're still admiring from afar or you've practically written your wedding vows, there's an ice cream flavor for every level of love. Which one are you?

1. The Crush Stage: 'Confetti Cake'

The very first stage: the moment you set your sights on your romantic prospect. It's truly an occasion worth celebrating, which is why Ben & Jerry's 'Confetti Cake' is the perfect ice cream for the job. You know you've caught the feels when talking to the subject of your admirations incites a rose tinted confetti party in your head. It's obvious this person is the whole package: cake, ice cream, and frosting all in one.

2. Flirts And Dates: 'Brownie Batter Core'

At this point, you want to get to the real core of your dream girl/guy. Ideally, they have a gooey brownie batter core that's as tantalizing as their outer appearance- after all, who cares about the packaging when what's inside is so delicious? Getting to know a person can be as hard as ice cream straight out of the freezer, but if you're patient, you'll melt their heart.

3. DTR: 'Everything But The...'

Defining the relationship — a confusing time for all parties involved. Like this ice cream, your feelings may be all over the place — a mix of everything you could think of. Your thoughts are collisions of uncertainty. How does your peanut butter cup view the relationship? But once you get past all that nuts, there's no fudgin' way you'll be apart.

4. The Honeymoon Stage: 'Cinnamon Buns'

You've just begun your relationship and everything is sweet as cinnamon. Like your significant other, you can never get tired of a good cinnamon roll- and combined with a caramel base? You two are a match made in Vermont. Make sure you don't overdo it, dough. You could end up in sugar overload.

5. The Old Couple Stage: 'Chubby Hubby'

After the honeymoon stage, your relationship might calm down a bit, or become more 'vanilla' like the 'Chubby Hubby' ice cream base. Fortunately, after being together for awhile, you're more comfortable being your (pea)nutty self — and your chubby hubby will appreciate you for it.

6. The Breakup :( 'Chocolate Therapy'

This one goes without saying... Ben & Jerry's therapy is crucial after a breakup, and there's nothing like a triple chocolate threat to put you back on your feet. It's understandable to feel like crying a chocolate river worthy of Wonka when things don't work out, but sometimes that's just how the cookie crumbles. When your heart feels as mushy as swirls of chocolate pudding, this is the pint you'll reach for.

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.
