Oh silly ole bear.

Why I Will Always Live In The Hundred-Acre Wood

If you know me or you have seen my Tigger phone case, you know how obsessed I am with the Hundred Acre Wood. When I was little, I practically lived and breathed everything related to Winnie the Pooh and his friends. I was lucky and blessed enough to have been surrounded with a storybook world that always made me happy. A storybook world that I always could go to when I was feeling upset or when things in my life caused me stress. 20-years later, the Hundred Acre Wood still has the same effect on me.

1. It releases my inner child

When I hear anything related to Winnie the Pooh, my inner child comes out. I become 5 years old again and singing "The most wonderful thing about Tiggers" over 50 times. Growing up and even now, whenever I see Winnie the Pooh at Walt Disney World, I jump up and down and have the biggest smile on my face. Not because they're lovable characters but because they were/are my favorite Disney characters (next to Mickey and Minnie).

2. It makes me happy

I know what you're thinking, of course it would make you happy but it's not just that it makes me happy, it gives me pure joy. It makes my heart happy, it gives me a sparkle in my eye and makes me smile. Even during in my darkest times, the Winnie the Pooh theme song or anything Winnie the Pooh related made me have the biggest smile. To some people that might be childish and stupid, but it gave me amazing memories growing up.

3. It makes me nostalgic

It makes me remember how my childhood was and how happy I was growing up. It reminds me of the time where I would race home from school just to watch Winnie the Pooh on repeat.

4. The characters are like my childhood best friends

Growing up watching Winnie The Pooh and his friends and playing the video games made me feel like they were my childhood friends. They were there to make me feel better on my sad days or to make my good days better.

5. It will always welcome you back

No matter who old you are, Winnie the Pooh always welcomes you back and makes you remember your childhood. I'll forever be thankful that my childhood was filled with the silly ole bear.

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.
