No classes and a long weekend? Sounds like music to my and every other college student's ears. But not everyone has the luxury to go home during breaks and see their much-missed family. Lots of us have to endure campus with no one around. So, here are some things every student who stays on campus during breaks will know to be true.

1. No crowds during meal time in the dining hall

Since almost everyone is home for the holidays that means the dining halls are empty during lunch and dinner. No more struggling to find a table for you and your friends to sit at.

2. Saying you'll do homework but really just watching movies all day

Let's be honest: Break is the perfect time to catch up on homework. You make plans to be productive all break -- go to the gym, get ahead on readings, and maybe even hit the town for a bit. But in reality, all you do is watch Netflix all day.

3. Never having to wait for a laundry machine

It always seems like every time you have to do laundry all of the machines are taken. So, when you find multiple empty machines you can't help but do a happy dance.

4.Struggling to find someone to get food with

Since all your friends went home to visit family it's hard to find someone to eat with you in the dining hall. So, sometimes you just have to make due with the ones you can find.

5. Singing as loud as you want in the shower because nobody is around to hear

Normally, the halls and bathroom always have people going in and out, so you can't sing the way you used in the shower back home. Now the coast is clear! Jamming out to the song that's been stuck in your head all day is totally cool.

6. Only seeing a few people walking around campus

Although we beg for some alone time in college, it is no fun when you have no friends around for the weekend. The break just seems 10 times longer with no one around.

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.
