We all have exes that we must (or try not to) face on a daily basis... And they come in all shapes and sizes!

1. The One Whose Existence Makes Your Skin Crawl

You see them in public and immediately run the other way in order not to breathe their air. You cannot stand the thought of them, and hearing their name flares your nostrils on command. Your break-up wasn't the prettiest, and you probably hate them because they did you really really REALLY wrong. It's OK, love. We all have those.

2. The One You Tolerate

This one's okaaaayyy. I mean, you don't necessarily perk up upon their arrival, but a simple "Hey, what's up?" and a one-armed side hug will do. In this case, you guys probably had a little beef at the point of the break-up, but you've both realized it isn't that serious. Either way, this person still isn't your favorite person in the world.

3. The One Who Stills Tries To Get You Back (Psycho or Not)

Two options here: a.) He/she will send you subtle messages from time to time that hint about getting back together and missing the relationship or b.) He/she calls you all hours of the night, through unknown numbers and payphones, doing everything in their power to get you back. They will not rest until they have you in their arms — or until there's a restraining order placed.

4. The One You're Still Friends With

Whether the relationship ended terribly or not, you both realized that the friendship you had was a good one. There's no point in letting that go over something that is in the past. There are still awkward moments when something is brought up about you two being together from other people, but a simple shoulder shake will have that off in no time.

5. The One You're Still "With" But Not Really

So... funny story. You guys broke up... BUT are still acting as though y'all are together. Confusing. Everyone's like, "Uhhhhh... what." Yeah. We've all been there, unfortunately. This could end in in a rekindled relationship or a bitter taste in your mouth over wasted time. You'll get over it eventually because you're a queen/king, but like why. #shady

6. The One That Decided To Date Your Best Friend

Kinda falling into Ex #1, this lovely human decided your best friend was the PERFECT backup plan. I mean maybe you tolerate it because you don't want to lose your best friend, or maybe you've cut both ties... Either way, this one is a huge slap in the face. Leave those suckers behind.

7. The Neutral One

You don't like or dislike this person. It's just kind of not worth your time either way. You just kind of ignore each other, but not in a rude way. It is what it is at this point.

I'm sure I've missed several types of exes. They're literally everywhere in every form. Take a good look at this list... Which one does yours fall under?

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.
