Well seniors, brace yourselves because it's the moment we've all been dreading: Spring semester 2017.

That's right, you heard it here first, this is the start of our last undergraduate college semester. It feels like just yesterday we were at orientation, moving into our first dorm room and getting lost on campus trying to find college writing with our lanyards around our necks. Now here we are finishing our last few classes, squeezing in a few credits and bar hopping our way to commencement.

If the word "commencement" made you cringe or tear up, don't sweat it just yet. Lucky for us, we have three months until that time of year, so here's my proposal to all of my fellow seniors: Let vow to make this semester THE best 3 months of our lives. Ya know, do all those things we want to do that never got around to, or those things that you most certainly can't do once we're out in the real world.

1. Use up your meal plan

So maybe your campus food isn't the best, or perhaps you have the best dining in the country (go UMass, #1 dining). Either way, there is never going to be a time when your food is prepaid for, so use this opportunity wisely.

2. Wear your school sweatshirt every single day

Come next year, most of us will have a big person job and have to wear big person clothes to work. Therefore, lets take advantage of those school pride hoodies we just had to have at orientation.

3. Use all the student discounts you can find

SO many places offer discounts with just the flash of your student ID, make sure you take advantage!

4. Take classes you actually want to take

Our general education classes are finally over, thank goodness. Now we can take classes we're actually interested in.

5. Annoy the hell out of your roommates

For a lot of us, the next roommates we'll have will be our parents (yikes) until our students loans are paid off and our bank accounts are replenished. Take every opportunity to bug your housemates.

6. Go to every sporting event-- and do you.

College sports are such a huge part of campus life.

7. Go out to the bars every chance you can

Listen to me carefully, this may come as a shock but in real life, you can't drink 3 pitchers of beer on a Tuesday and be considered a healthy human. This is actually the only time in life you can drink every day

8. Love your school

You chose your college as a baby 18-year-old and now you've grown to love every aspect about the place that has been your home for the past 3-and-a-half years.

And remember, no matter what, don't take one second on your campus for granted.

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.
