I'm sure my tiara got lost in the mail.

13 Signs You, An American, Are Overly Obsessed With The British Royal Family
Jordan Reid

Yea, everyone loves the British royal family. You just love them a little bit more than the average person. It’s not weird, it’s just an unhealthy obsession with the aristocracy of a country you’re not a part of. Not weird at all.

1. You’ve watched ALL of the Netflix documentaries on British history.

And I do mean ALL of them. This means you probably have been known to tell your family and friends random facts about King Henry IIIV, but if they’ll thank you someday because that is USEFUL information.

2. You’ve re-watched "The Crown" at least twice.

Really, any show with British people in a historical setting is on your list, but this one is special.

3. You’ve forced yourself to like tea.

Nothing makes you feel more in touch with your inner-princess than pouring a nice “cuppa” and pretending like it’s as good as coffee.

4. You suddenly become a fashion expert when discussing any member of the family.

She just carries herself with such grace, and those colors really bring out her eyes, and that hairstyle perfectly frames her face, and I’m expecting a call from Fashion Police any day now.

5. Royal weddings are national holidays in your house.

People know not to try to make plans, or even speak to you, for that matter. This is a very special day for you and you plan on savoring every single minute with cake, tea, and tears.

6. You definitely have a current favorite member of the family.

Team Edward or Team Jacob? More like Team William or Team Harry! I’m not ashamed.

7. And you probably have a least favorite, too.

I’m not going to name names… but it’s Charles.

8. Kate Middleton is your fashion icon.

You can’t buy class, but you can google every picture of this woman in existence and try your best to copy it.

9. You’ve considered adopting a Corgi.

I could name them Cricket and Crumpet, and if I wear a lime green dress with matching hat, everyone would probably mistake me for the Queen.

10. Going to England is actually your dream.

I just wanna ride a double-decker bus past Big Ben and kiss the ground Prince Harry has walked on. I really don’t think that’s too much to ask.

11. You occasionally forget you’re not actually apart of the family... or the country.

It’s always a rude awakening you never see coming.

12. You’ve planned your own royal wedding in your head.

So I’m thinking a small ceremony of about 2,000 at West Minster Abbey, and instead of a dress, I would like to just cover my entire body in tiaras. Shouldn’t be a problem.

13. You were thrilled that Harry was marrying an American — until you discovered it was the wrong one.

Wait... it’s not me? There must have been a mistake I’d like to see a lawyer, please.

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.
