9 Reasons Why I'm Ready To Go Back To School
Liana "Lilo" Bustamante

August is here and that means...school is starting again!

Summer has been work-filled and very exciting with great memories, but I'm ready to go back to Stephens College, my second home. I'll be back there in about two weeks and here are just a few reasons I'm excited to go back.

1. I've missed my friends from school.

While some of my friends weren't as far away as others, I've been pretty busy working this summer. I'm excited to go back to school where I'll still work pretty often, but see them on an almost everyday basis on campus.

2. I've been excited about the classes I signed up for since I signed up for them.

Fingers crossed that I remember to turn in the paperwork to take that Spanish class at Miz. But hey, at least I get to take ASL this year -- WOOHOO!

3. New year, new room, new roommate!

Last year was awesome and I loved my room and roommate. However, I'm super excited for this coming year since I've had a year of knowing what life is like on campus!

4. Dorm decorating.

I've been contemplating how I want to express myself via my half of the room this coming year. I have so many posters and ideas on how to decorate and I just can't wait!

5. I'm an OGL this year!

So, an OGL is an Orientation Group Leader. I basically get to help welcome in the incoming freshmen and make their orientation as awesome as possible! I had one last year and I had a whole lot of fun during my orientation week. I also get to move in a week early with them!

6. School events all the time.

I've done some really awesome, fun things this summer like #TWRPhillyTakeover, but I have been working almost every day since June. I'm excited for different events on campus all the time whether it's a midnight breakfast during midterms/finals weeks or a Decorate-a-doorstop event.

7. Making late-night runs...

...to get food. I can leave my dorm and come back basically whenever without feeling bad that I'll wake my family up.

8. New school supplies and DIYs.

I already bought some new notebooks and I've been keeping up with my favorite YouTubers who are already posting their back to school DIYs.

9. Autumn is just around the corner!

Autumn is my favorite season because it's not too hot or cold. I also love the colors of the season and it just brings me the warm fuzzy feelies.

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.
