College, As Told By Kristen Wiig

College has its many ups and downs. Here are some typical college occurrences that we can all relate to- courtesy of the fabulous Kristen Wiig.

1. When your alarm goes off for your 8 am class on a Monday morning


2. When the try-hard who sits next to you in class gets a much better grade than you on that exam you studied weeks for


3. When you try extra hard for a theme party and can't wait to show off your killer look


4. When someone asks you what you're doing on this fine Wednesday evening


5. Getting back an exam that you were sure you failed, but actually got a passing grade on


6. Making eye contact with your friend after finding out that your Friday morning class was cancelled


7. When class is basically over but someone decides to ask the dreaded question "is there homework?"


8. When you take a peak at your bank account balance


9. When it's Thursday night and you're trying to decide whether to stay in and write your 10 page paper, or go out all night and deal with it in the morning

10. When the dining hall is serving free late night food


11. Going home for a break and coming back with a haircut and your nails done, feeling fabulous and pampered


12. When your friend shows you videos of yourself from the night before

13. When you are taking an exam and you don't know the answer to the first question


14. When you finish your last midterm


15. Remembering that you have leftovers from the fancy restaurant you went to with your mom on parents weekend


16. When someone tells you that they have their life all figured out


17. When you take a Sunday off to pamper yourself, because you are a queen


18. When it's your second month in a row being sick

19. When you wake up on Sunday morning to a dorm room that looks like Hurricane Mathew just hit

20. When you're just about ready to kill your friends, but you know you'll get separation anxiety over the next break

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.
