An Obituary
John Lallo

John Lallo, 21, died on January 11, 2017 painfully of old age, despite having requested euthanasia every year since his eleventh birthday. He was surrounded by his family member and loved one who accompanied him via facetime in his final moments. John was born on the 8th of August, 1995. He is survived by his younger brother and his own ghost, which can be seen roaming the aisles of abandoned Blockbusters Monday through Thursday. His spirit is temporarily bound to this plain due to ongoing litigation regarding an overdue copy of Microwave Ramen for Dummies.

He worked as a failed writer, providing for no one other than himself, and contributing nothing of value in his time. He is most notably remembered for coining the phrase ‘I’d rather not’, which were coincidentally also his final words, said in response to being asked if he would like to be quoted for final words. Among his favorite hobbies were watching footage of people taking long walks on the beach and practicing his laugh in the mirror. In May of 2009 he suffered a sprained optic nerve after rolling his eyes too hard.

Family and friend are invited to attend Inkwell Coffeehouse in Long Branch NJ, where his ashes will be ‘scattered among the hippies’, as per his last request. He also asked that a mariachi band play during this moment or, alternatively, that anyone with broken English and/or a severe speech impediment attempt to sing ‘The Sound of Silence’.

His will, as has been made public, leaves the control of his remaining social media accounts to the Johnnie Walker estate for their many contributions to his career. His wardrobe is to be auctioned off and ‘burned before it ever goes to Goodwill’. The hot sauce, book, and record collections he amassed in his last years are to be destroyed along with his remains. Scorned lovers are encouraged to join.

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.
