Burrito? More like BAE-ritto!

When I scroll through Facebook, I see plenty of articles or "open letters" to mothers, fathers, boyfriends (what is a boyfriend and where do I get one?), or even dogs. While dogs and parents might be cool, there is something that stands out in my heart that I can no longer stay quiet about: burritos.

Yes, burritos. In a single flour tortilla, you can literally hold an adventure. Every time I go to any restaurant that sells burritos (hey, Chipotle), I feel as I am being welcomed home. I admit, sometimes I get a little overwhelmed. Having the usual burrito combination is playing it safe, but sometimes, one must step outside of their comfort zone and try something new. Maybe something spicy? Maybe treat yourself and get some guacamole? (Just kidding, that's expensive.) No matter what you put in your burrito, it will be a good experience, unless you're a bad person and mess it up.

Speaking of messing up, sometimes people make mistakes and the burrito can fall apart. That's OK. In the wise words of my hero, Hannah Montana, "Nobody's Perfect." If it falls apart, forget about the tears and get a fork! You have just created your very own burrito bowl. I am so proud of you.


The only thing that I do not like about burritos is that I cannot have them every day or I will start to look like a burrito (Boys, I don't look like a burrito, FYI).

So, why do I like burritos so much? I like them because it's something I can look forward to. When you first sit down and tear off the aluminum foil, exposing the edible art, it's like seeing your child for the very first time. OK, maybe not, but it's still a beautiful sight. The first bite of the warm, flavorful, and gentle tortilla into the masterpiece inside can only be described as pure bliss, and you know it. Finishing the burrito is bittersweet. You are satisfied and content with your meal, but it was also a goodbye that you might not have been ready for. It's gone, now what? Cry? Get another one? Tweet about it? Accept the food baby? All of the above?

Burritos are better than boys for so many reasons. You can't get in a fight with a burrito, you never have to worry about your burrito cheating on you because you hold it the entire time, and a burrito can't break your heart, only your bank account.

Well, what are you waiting for? Go get a burrito!

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
