It's still exciting and dreadful, no matter what year.

College Move In From First-Year to Junior Year

College move in whether you're a First-Year or junior coming around for your third move in, it's always exciting and nerve wracking. You're First-Year, you're coming in knowing maybe one or two people already but not actually knowing much else on where you're living and who your roommates are. But coming back for your junior year, your third move in, it can be just as exciting, but for a few different reasons.

As a First-Year, you may not be as comfortable and you might even be asking yourself if this can be your home for the next four years, or if this was the right decision. You might not know your way around campus, and you might even hate all the core classes you're registered for. You might have only had a few text message interactions with your roommate, and then you have the awkward meeting as you both get to your room moving in. But coming in for your freshman year, it's a whole new chapter in your life that you'll embark on.

Now as a junior, it's a little bit different. You already know all about your roommates, you most likely chose them. You already know where you'll be living, and you've also most likely already seen the inside of your apartment. You're hopefully deep within your major, loving your classes. You should know your way around campus pretty much with your eyes closed, and know all the shortcuts. Coming back as a junior, you're gung-ho on seeing all your friends and catching up on how their summers were even before you're completely unpacked into your new apartment for a year. Now a junior, you might know your way across campus, and it might feel like the same old, but every year is a new year. It's as equally exciting.

But there are a few things that will always be there same whether you're a freshman or a junior moving in.

1. You'll be waiting in ridiculously long elevator lines to bring your stuff upstairs, or you'll carry everything up many flights of stairs.

2. The parking lots will always be madness.

3. Everyone always seems to be moving at the same time, and you feel cramped up on everyone.

4. There is always a sense of excitement for what new adventures and journeys this new year will give you.

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.
