Binge Watching Netflix

Let's face it, we've all done it. While having tests and assignments piling on one another, we soon find ourselves on Netflix. Maybe watching Orange is the New Black on a weeknight isn't one of the best ideas.

Having my Dorm a Mess

Sometimes, i feel like I'm driving my roommate crazy with dirty clothes and dishes here and there. Unfortunately, it takes me a bit longer to realize that I need to clean, and even longer to actually do it.

Spending Money on Things I Don't Need

I'm the type of person that would go into Target planning to spend $5, but come out spending $50. And maybe I can have another meal at the caf rather than eating out...

Overpacking

When packing up to leave for college, I'll look at a cute jacket in my closet I haven't worn in 3 years, promise myself I'd wear it more often and put it in the suitcase. But at the end of the year, I'll find it in the back of my closet realizing I haven't worn it once throughout the whole school year.

Eating Unhealthy Food

Sure, a treat here and there is okay, but having your meal mostly consisting of ice cream and cookies? Probably not the best idea. And believe me, I am guilty of this. On multiple occasions.

Saying Yes Too Much

I feel like this would be the hardest habit to break. When I have too much homework to do, and too many tests to study for, I shouldn't say yes when my boss asks me to work that night, or if my friends want to hang out. Because then in the morning I find myself having a mental breakdown. I'll just have to remind myself that school comes first, and hope for the best.

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.
