Hi there. Nana Addae again. I just wanted to dedicate this week to the importance of boxers in an open letter. I'm opening wide up, but like, in a letter. Both the dog and the profession. I just wanted to write this week about how much I love them. You know why? Do you know how much luck it takes to be born a dog that can be named Mike Tyson, because it's like, a boxer dog, and Mike Tyson is a boxer? Man, I wish I were a dog, but a boxer, and not any other dog. Why do they call them boxers anyway?

So, why do I love boxing and the dog known as the boxer? To begin, I think it's a really interesting sport that involves throwing hella hands, but with ultimate finesse. It's really an art if you think about it; in Mexico it's the second most popular sport after soccer. Even though it's (apparently) a dying sport, it definitely holds its weight in its rooted history and sportsmanship. Really unrelated, but have y'all seen "Mike Tyson Mysteries," though? Really good show, 7.7/10 would definitely recommend it.

So why are the dog boxers dope? I mean look at this lil nugget. I had to Google a photo of my dude over here but accidentally Googled "boxer god" first. I got it eventually.

I mean look at my lil dude over here. Props for being cute and cool. I like your style, dawg.

To wrap it up, though, you know the last cool thing about boxers? They have a really cool day dedicated to them called "Boxing Day" that's right after Christmas. Basically, a bunch of silly billies come together and box a whole bunch, whopping each other decent. It's kind of like a last minute Christmas present. I like to box. I want to go boxing now.

(Jokes aside, Boxing Day is the day people get their presents for Christmas and it's celebrated mainly outside of America. No one really boxes. I mean, you could. If you want to, we can always box. I'm always ready. Catch me posted up by the Jean Yawkey Center, Emmanuel College kids. I'm always down to box. I wish I knew how to box though).

I'll catch you guys next week.

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.
