Where do I begin? I guess I’ll start by saying that Shrek is probably the most versatile and inspiring actor out there. From ogre, to human, to American hero, Shrek never fails to put a smile on our faces!

Shrek’s career began with his world-renowned, self titled movie "Shrek." From the moment the movie started, I knew that I would be a life-long fan. I will never forget watching Shrek proudly march around his swamp to Smash Mouth’s “All Star;” he didn’t have a care in the world!

As his unique and unorthodox fairy tale unfolded, Shrek introduced us to some amazing characters such as Donkey, Lord Farquaad and of course, Fiona. Let’s just say that when Shrek saw Fiona’s face he became a believer.

Throughout his journey, Shrek made us laugh, grimace, scream and even cry. The "Shrek" series came to a close with the dramatic and satisfying "Shrek Forever After." Although the movie was amazing, no one was ready for this life-changing tetralogy to end. We were devastated, but we all knew that we would be seeing more of Shrek. His reappearance was slightly unexpected; he starred in a short film called “Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life." Now, I definitely would not recommend this abstract psychodrama to those who are under-aged or sensitive to explicit content. That being said, Shrek successfully played an extremely dark and serious role, without breaking character once; how impressive!

Screen acting is not Shrek’s only talent. He possesses an unbelievable amount of skill. For starters, he plays the saxophone.

He skateboards like a pro.

He can walk through walls.

He is also an amazing dancer.


He starred in his own Broadway musical.


His taste in music is on point.

And even though he knows that he's far superior to his other celebrity friends, they still love him.

So Shrek, wherever you are, we all hope that you continue on your path to world domination and keep doing you! Even though we are all "Accidentally In Love" with you, we wouldn't have it any other way.

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.
