If you've ever lived in the Midwest, than you know how terrifying yet exciting tornado season is. However, what can be even more "exciting" is watching the reactions of those who haven't lived in here. Now imagine a tornado warning, with over 100 girls in the basement of your freshman dorm, all during Finals week. Here are a few thoughts I had..

  1. If someone tells me to get in the shelter I will cry.
  2. "LADIES GET DOWN TO THE BASEMENT" is the worst thing in the world
  3. Man, a lot of girls live here!
  4. I've never even see that girl before, who are you...you don't live here.
  5. What if I'm stuck with nothing but girls for hours that would be awful..
  6. Awww it's like a giant sleepover but you know, dangerous..
  7. If I have to pee is that frowned upon? The bathroom is right there.
  8. Nah..ill just hold it.
  9. CRAP! I don't have shoes on my mom would be so disappointed.
  10. I should text my mom and tell her I'm safe, that would be nice of me.
  11. She wasn't worried that's fine.
  12. LOL Texas girl in the corner is FREAKING OUT.
  13. Welcome to Oklahoma friend where the wind really does sweep down the planes and through buildings.
  14. What if you didn't grow up with naders that would suck..
  15. Ok...but they have like earthquakes in Cali that would be actually the worst.
  16. I FORGOT TO FEED MYSELF.
  17. Honestly I never feed myself this isn't a new thing but now it's magnified because people are hungry around me.
  18. I have I final at 8am tomorrow I got stuff to do.
  19. Do I have to take my finals if a tornado hits a building?
  20. That would be sad but honestly I deserve summer time I've worked hard.
  21. Where's my roommate?!?!
  22. Oh there she is. Glad to see you gurl
  23. Oh my gosh she has snacks!
  24. First of all bless you x77 I love you.
  25. my laptop won't connect to the WIFI this is actually the worst.
  26. I should have brought my book but noooo I had to be a modern college kid and count on the Internet.
  27. HAIL! Awesome. Fantastic. That's what everyone needs right now is hail damage
  28. Alright it's hot now this needs to end..
  29. someone's dad is here because he was trying to move his daughter out.
  30. Not all heroes wear capes.
  31. I wonder if that hot guy in my anatomy class is safe right now, I've never talked to him but I felt a connection.
  32. Stay safe super hot guy we have a final Thursday.

  34. LOLOLOLOLOLOL send help.
  35. Oh man that girl is in a dress and heels
  36. I'm in a giant t-shirt and shorts..
  37. What if I die like this and someone finds my body without makeup on and with my hair in a mess, I'd be an ugly dead person right now so I can't die my grandma warned me about this, I'm never going to get married.
  38. I literally move out in 4 days I don't have time for this.
  39. My roommate is telling me the weather update every 8 seconds so I'm super safe I don't need to check.
  40. It's been 45min this isn't fun anymore..
  41. Also my gum has lost its flavor so everything is just bad.
  42. You know it could be worse I could be stuck in the all boys dorms.
  43. ...would that really be a bad thing Dia?
  44. Yes. Yes the smell is that bad you deserve better than that.
  45. *the math final has been canceled*
  46. OH NICE!!!!

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.
