If you have lost track or need catching up on the latest Olympic news, here it is! The United States is kicking butt and could not make Americans more proud!

1. Jamie Anderson wins gold for the United States Snowboard Slopestyle competition

A Lake Tahoe native, she has won fourteen overall X Game medals. Jamie had five gold medals already under her belt and she continued to add to her pretty golden collection.

2. Alex Shibutani and Maia Shibutani of the United States skate in the ice dance figure skating team event, taking second place

They competed in 2014, coming in ninth place. This year they are back and have made a name for themselves, taking second in ice dancing. One of their favorite bands is Coldplay and they love the band so much they used them in their performance. Maybe the band was good luck as they were able to slide past other competitors. Get it?

3. Jessica Diggins finishes in second place in front of Russia in women's cross country skiing semi-final

Coming from Vermont, she is used to the snow and is ready to win a medal. After being one of the final six women to advance, this could be her shot. She is trying to become the first woman from the United States to win a gold medal in cross-country skiing.

4. Chloe Kim wins gold for the United States in the halfpipe finals

After years of hard work and dedication, it finally paid off. Only seventeen years old, she blew away judges with her 180 degree spins on her second and third jumps in the competition, something that has never been done before. Her mom and dad were cheering her on from the crowd.

5. Mirai Nagasu becomes the first women in Olympic history for the US to land triple axel

After four years of hard work, Nagasu helped the US win its Bronze Medal. With her 4 1/2 minute skate, she wowed all the judges and made history.

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.
