Are we done yet?

Believe me I've been asking this question all semester. But for some reason in the very last week of school I want everything to halt for just one moment, to freeze in time so I can take a mental picture, to remain this way for a little bit longer so I'll never forget my last moments in college.

Are you feeling nostalgic too? Choose one of the following ways to spend your last week in school.

1. Say thank you. To professors, faculty, staff, advisors, mentors, and friends.

2. Spend time with people. When are you ever going to live with your closest friends again? Soak up these last moments and make them count.

3. Start Packing. It will just make everything easier when graduation comes.

4. Enjoy yourself. Finals are looming in the coming days but they don't matter as much as your health and those around you. Just don't kill yourself to ace all your exams.

5. Complete your bucket list. Remember those last few things you always wanted to do before you finished. Cross off one or two.

6. Don’t watch TV. Why waste your last few days on Netflix? You're leaving college and Netflix is coming with you, so don't choose now to binge watch the new season of "Breaking Bad."

7. Get outside. With all the studying and coffee dates and packing, give your lungs some fresh air.

8. Don’t let sadness overwhelm you. Yes, it's sad to leave school, for some people, but think of it this way, in order for new and great chapters to enter your life, you have to finish old and memorable ones.

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.
