I feel this song so accurately depicts what sin tears away from us. Reflecting the story of the prodigal son, we see how our souls can be drawn to what we believe to be good, to be light and luck, but rather we are so hollowed by the emptiness of earthly things. I know for myself, this song sang, and still sings so deeply to me. I find my heart to be tethered to what seems good and holy, but in my heart of hearts, I know that there are things so much better and brighter out there for me. While we know so desperaly what we want, only God truly knows what we need. And this, my friends, is a hard reality to swallow.

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.

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.
