Giving birth is a wondrous thing, but there are some symptoms that no one talks about. I'm here to set the record straight and tell you the TRUTH about progeny and it's many challenges. I'm also here to tell you about how it all is worth every once of pain, discomfort, and misery just to hold your baby in your arms for the first time.

1. The indicator is nausea and/or vomiting.

I’ve been pregnant three times now and its something that happens that quick you feel fine one day and then the next day you suddenly change.

2. Dreaming.

I didn’t believe it until I experienced it but while your pregnant you dream some of the most ridiculous dreams.

3. Names.

Picking out a name for your baby for the rest of its life can seem nearly impossible.

4. Your FEET!

Like vomiting, this is another one of those good one day and bad the next. Your feet seriously swell during pregnancy and once you are done being pregnant your a shoe size bigger.

5. Bathroom Problems.


Your baby will put so much pressure on your bladder that you will feel like you will explode every second of the day unless you run to that bathroom.

6. Hair.

Whoever said your baby will be born with a full head of hair if you have a lot of heartburn during pregnancy was waaaay off. Heartburn is yet another symptom of pregnancy and that's it.

7. The Nose Knows.

Getting sick in the beginning of pregnancy is normal and some part of it has to do with your sense of smell. While pregnant smells become much stronger, making women steer clear of certain foods.

8. Labor.

You might poop during labor if you have a vaginal birth and that's ok because it happens quite often.

Pregnancy can be ugly, but not for everyone. Everyone will experience different symptoms but regardless of that, the end result is always the best, which is...HAVING THE BABY!

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.
