Happy October everyone! It's the month to be spooky when the leaves change. Unfortunately, like the leaves, so do our grades. Which is why we need to have study spots to call our own. I'm the type to have a quiet surrounding while other times, I crave cafe noises. Certain spaces can train our brain to function easily. Here are some study areas I recommend on campus.

1. Bloom Bakery in Public Square

I chose this place because I adore the pastries and bread there. Today, I had the sourdough toast with jam while studying. There's something about eating and studying at the same time that gives you a burst of energy. Studying during common hour can be nice because there's not a lot of people. Also, there's a beautiful electric fireplace in front of me. Sadly, it's not heated, which is understandable due to a fire hazard. However, if you do need to take a quick break, read a book or mediate for a while and feel your soul at ease.

2. Starbucks at the Hanna Building

Every student has gone to Starbucks at least once. If not in this building than one nearby your location. There's something about the smell of coffee, the sounds of people talking and students buried in their books and laptops gives you a satisfying sigh. Mainly because, your brain will allow you to focus even more since the smell of coffee can wake you up. If I'm studying here, then it would be around 4 p.m. because that's when I'm the most focused there.

3. Business building, 3rd floor

If you're here early in the morning like before 10 a.m., then you would notice it is dead quiet. That's when I'm here studying. Sure, it's next to the elevators but at least there's an outlet here. Mind your business studying here and no one will bother you.

4. 2nd floor, law building

If you've been to the law building then you would have noticed this piano. It is on the way to the Innerlink. Plus, you have a beautiful view of the Business building and a part of Cleveland. My heart beats fast whenever I'm here. After I've studied, I shall play the piano. Am I any good? Of course not, I'm a beginner after all. Although, I enjoy classical music so if anyone is a music major, please come play here so I can bask in the glory that is your talent.

Personally, I would love to review notecards in a place with no one around. Mainly because I like to say it aloud, that way I could remember it. Although, there are times where I crave a setting with people around that are also being productive with their time. Which is why, I've provided some places that are quiet and some places where there are others around.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
