60 Minutes Before A Date

T-Minus 60: Put my contacts in.

T-Minus 59-45: Take a shower and change into nicer clothes, a tasteful polo and khakis.

T-Minus 44: Figure that maybe I look better with my glasses and take my contacts out.

T-Minus 43: My roommate Jordan points out that I forgot to shave.

T-Minus 42-41: Argue with Jordan that some girls prefer a little scruff. He points out that my moustache gives of a slight, pedo-ish vibe.

T-Minus 40-35: Shave.

T-Minus 34: Decide that I definitely look better with contacts in.

T-Minus 33-29: Impromptu dance break when "Come and Get Your Love" starts playing on my record player.

T-Minus 28: Take contacts out.

T-Minus 27: Put contacts back in.

T-Minus 26: Contacts in.

T-Minus 25: Contacts out.

T-Minus 24: Contacts in.

T-Minus 23 Contacts out.

T-Minus 22: Alright, I'm calling an executive order on this: I'M WEARING THE CONTACTS!

T-Minus 21-19: Apply my nicest cologne. I can tell it's fancy because the bottle is all curvy.

T-Minus 18-15: Psych myself up for the date, convincing myself that I'm going to knock it out of the park BECAUSE I'M NOLAN F-ING NIGHTINGALE, AND I'M THE LIZARD KING, BITCH!!!!!!

T-Minus 14: Go to the agreed upon meeting spot, early because I always get way to anxious about being late and drastically overcompensate.

T-Minus 13-2: Wait in the cold. Maybe a polo shirt was a bad choice.

T-Minus 1: She shows up slightly early. Ha, I knew I was justified in coming early.

T-Minus 0: She looks at me and is disappointed that I didn't wear my glasses. She thinks I look better with them on.

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.
