9 Things I'll Miss About Charleston While Home For The Summer
Megan Adair

Sure, a 3 month summer sounds great, a break from school was well needed, but it also means leaving the beautiful city of Charleston.

1. The beaches

Megan Adair

I loved how there were 3 different beaches all within 20 minutes of campus and downtown. It was always nice to go to the beach after a stressful school day or to take a break from studying.

2. King Street

Megan Adair

I loved King Street, I walked on it as frequently as possible. I loved all the old looking buildings with modern stores and I liked to see the all the different people (and dogs). I would always try to go to Second Sunday on King if I didn't work, I loved to be a part of the big crowd slowly cruising down King street.

3. The architecture

Megan Adair

I could walk around downtown all day just looking at buildings and do it all again the next day. There are so many unique styles and colors of buildings, it seems impossible to see them all!

4. The sunsets

Megan Adair

Sunsets are pretty anywhere but it was so nice to walk to the Battery and get there in time to watch the sun paint the sky. I would do this often and it never gets old.

5. The street performers

The street performers would be out every Saturday and Sunday in Marion Square and I could sit and watch them for hours. They always have a new and fun routine and they just have really good energy.

6. The farmers market

Megan Adair

I wouldn't go to the farmers market that often but when I did go, it was so much fun. They have everything from homemade honeys and jams to paintings and art for sale. So many different people came together to sell their different products and I think it was fun to see what everyone had to offer.

7. The boutiques

Megan Adair

Shopping in Charleston is both fun and dangerous, it's so easy to blow your money fast. The picture shows one of my favorite boutiques, I think it's so cool and unique that it is mobile! There are countless boutiques in Charleston but they all offer different styles and fashions.

8. Rainbow Row

Megan Adair

Rainbow row was always fun to go to, I'll never get tired of it. All the different colors of the buildings really stood out and was always fun to look at.

9. The photo opportunities

Megan Adair

There are so many places in Charleston to take that perfect photo. From fences wrapped in flowers or just simple palm trees, it is very easy to find your perfect back drop.

A lot of these things you can find in other places outside Charleston but it's not the same. There's something special about Charleston and I'm going to really mss it for the next 3 months.

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.
