1. Loungewear.

As college students we have to study. And most of our studying is done for long periods of time. Comfort is key. Plus, wearing sweatpants to class is no longer frowned upon.

2. Snacks, Snacks, and More Snacks.

Seriously can't emphasize this one enough. We LOVE to snack. This also goes back to the long hours of studying, it usually involves snacking.

3. Gas and Grocery Cards.

Let's be honest, we don't make that much if anything at all. These would help us more than you know. and if you don't send us snacks then we can at least go get our own!

4. Restaurant Gift Cards.

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE gets tired of eating in our dining facilities on campus. We love to go out, but we don't necessarily have the funds to do so. If you don't know what restaurants there are near us, just ask. We'd be happy to tell you all the places we can't afford to eat at.

5. For the Girls: Fuzzy Socks.

Whether we're walking across campus in the cold or just hanging out, fuzzy socks are a girl's best friend in college. Trust me with this, you can't go wrong. The softer, the better.

6. Bathroom Supplies.

Everyone runs out of toothpaste or toilet paper eventually. Some other things to consider are toothbrushes, Tide To-Go pens, tissues, lint rollers, and for girls; make-up remover wipes. While these things seems like a bad idea, we'll be happy to get them.

7. Favorite Movies.

Even if we don't have a DVD Player in our room, I guarantee that we know someone who does. Movie nights happen more frequently than we care to admit (because that means we're not actually studying).

These are just some ideas to get you started. Be creative! No matter what's inside the box, we'll just be happy you thought of us!

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.
