Why I'm Addicted To HGTV's 'Fixer Upper'
HGTV

I have always been drawn to HGTV. I love the idea of redesigning an old broken house and restoring it to its natural beauty once again. It wasn't until I started watching "Fixer Upper" that I saw my design interests in every house they remodeled.

  • Joanna and Chip Gaines make a beautiful couple. My heart melts when they look at each other, especially when Chip calls her Jo Jo. It is a great feeling watching two people who truly love each other work together to transform houses and peoples' lives.

  • Their children are adorable. It's awesome knowing that they value family. I love that they teach their children work ethic at a young age. Every couple of episodes, they are taking care of flowers or the animals, and it's fun to watch them grow.

  • Their farm is gorgeous. What's even better is that they bought it as a "Fixer Upper" and transformed it into what it is today, proving that hard work does pay off.

  • Chip is hilarious. There's not an episode where I fail to laugh at him either buying random objects at the antique store, eating a bug on a house tour, or coming home with dogs and chickens.

  • Joanna is my design hero. I could see myself living in any house she designs. I'll never get tired of watching her add subway tiles and shiplap into a renovation. It's crazy to think she has no background in design either.

  • They are strong in their faith and they aren't afraid to say it. Joanna and Chip Gaines are two of the most humble and caring people on television today.

  • Waco, Texas looks like a great southern town. I'd be lying if I said that I wouldn't move to Waco. Jo and Chip Gaines definitely put Waco, Texas back on a map as far as great towns to visit.

  • Magnolia Market looks like heaven. It is not only a place to buy Joanna-Gaines-inspired decor but a place that represents the Gaines family as a whole.

  • The Bed and Breakfast looks like a welcoming home away from home. My family is already looking at dates in which we can book to stay there. I loved it on the episode they showed it to a family, but they ended up not going with it. I'm glad to see its transformation into something "Fixer Upper" fans can enjoy.

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.
