College Life, As Told By Betty White

College Life, As Told By Betty White

There comes a time in college where you can tell that you're getting older. It may happen overnight, it may be a series of small changes over time, but it happens eventually. Maybe you wake up one Sunday morning and BAM, you can't bounce back like you used to, or maybe the thought of staying in and eating your weight in pizza on a Friday night is more appealing than another house party. You just can't avoid it. But you can age with grace and dignity, and if you don't believe me, just look at Betty White. She's 93 and still killing the game, and with every passing day I start to identify with her a little more.

1. When you have to push past freshmen at parties.


2. When you think about graduating.


3. When you throw a party and randos make a huge mess for you to clean.


4. When all of your friends are wifed up.


5. When you and your friend's song comes on in public and y'all just don't care.


6. 8ams.


7. When a drunk stranger starts crying to you and you don't know what to say.


8. Tuesday mornings.


9. Walking in on your roommate and their girlfriend/boyfriend like


10. When a freshman asks you and your friend for directions and you send them to the other side of campus.


11. When your professor calls on you and your hand wasn't even raised.


12. When your family asks you about your social life at college.


With age comes wisdom, and a little bitterness, too. But as you navigate through those final semesters of college, if ever you're in doubt, just ask yourself WWBD? And if you follow the examples set by Miss White, you too will be able to make it to graduation with the same class and sass that Betty has offered the world for almost a century.

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.
