A Shout Out to my Best Friend
Shanon Rego

Thank you for always having my back. Thank you for always believing in me even when I don't believe in myself.

Junior year kicked my ass ALL. OVER. THE. SCHOOL. It hit me like a freaking train. I failed my first few tests in calculus and hit rock bottom. I was bullied for my grades. I felt like going on top of a building and screaming my lungs out. I wanted to cry. I wanted to give up.

I still remember, you once saw me crying because I messed up on another calculus test. You said, "We have to beat this and I swear we will. We will not fail. We will work together to study for the tests. Forget what others are saying. WE WILL FIGHT THIS."

Sure, it might not sound like much but I promise you it worked. My grades showed improvement. My confidence started increasing. I felt like learning, not mugging. More importantly, instead of trying to beat everyone else, I wanted to beat me. I wanted to be the best version of myself and sure enough, I did.

After high school, you still had my back. I left India, knowing that if I ever needed to speak to someone, I could always count on you. You've given me rock solid advice and the best food I could ever ask for in school. You've been with me through the best and worst parts of my life.


Shanon Rego


And to end this with the best quote of all time,

"No matter where you are, whether it's a quarter-mile away or halfway around the world, you'll always be with me and you'll always be my brother."

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.
