The first time you live in a dorm, you finally feel a sense of freedom and independence that you never received while living with your parents. But once you begin to live by yourself with total strangers, you learn to deal with so many different types of people and living with them becomes a daily routine.

1. The Antisocial Ones

These kids stay in their room all day and you would probably never see their face ever in your life.

2. The International Students

These kids come from different countries around the world and some of the most interesting people you ever will talk to. You learn so much about their culture and their country and become fascinated with whatever they have to say.

3. The Potheads

All these kids do is smoke, sleep, and then smoke again. Your hall will probably smell every day, but you will eventually get used to it.

4. The Obnoxious Partier

These kids believe that if they study for five minutes they deserve a night out, and when they party they go hard. You will probably hear them at 4 in the morning while you're trying to get some sleep for your 9 a.m. class.

5. The Nerd

This is the kid you go to for all your educational needs and they will probably teach you whatever you need to learn better than your professor ever could.

6. The Boy/Girl Next Door

These are the kids that everyone has a crush on and you begin to admire them from afar just because of how beautiful they are.

7. The Judgmental Ones

These kids will judge you for everything you have ever done and will probably rat you out to your RA if you do something that they find moderately annoying.

8. Your Best Friends

These are the people that you naturally gravitate to and begin to tell everything to. The number of memories you begin to create with them will be unforgettable and they will eventually become your rocks in college.

Throughout college you will find a vast amount of people that you will either get along with or not. No matter how your relationships go, you begin to learn so much about yourself and people in general. Take everything as a learning experience and experience college the best way you can.

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.
