Dear Ole Miss...
olemiss.edu

Thank you for teaching me to grow up. Thank you for teaching me how to live on my own. Thank you for giving me more stress than you can ever comprehend.

Thank you for my friends. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to have so many people to hang out with. Thank you for the late night talks, the cry sessions, and the realization that everything will be okay.

Thank you for my classes. Without the stress, I would not know how to handle the situations that come my way in the future. Thank you for teaching me about psychology. Thank you for teaching me things that I never knew like what the heck akinotopsia is and the fact that the average person spends 6 months of their life waiting for a red light to turn green. Thanks for all the fun facts that I was unaware of until I came here.

Most of all thank you for the life lessons. Thank you for helping me manage money. Thank you for helping me through the stresses of terrible roommates, and the joys of the good ones. Thank you for helping me to realize that it is okay not to be okay. Sometimes I need to know when to take a step back. Also, thank you for not giving me more than I can take. Thank you for the days of class cancellations. Thank you for all the fun snow days... we really need more of those... and thank you for the beautiful campus.

Not many people get to experience the wonderful times of being part of an SEC school. Thank you for allowing me to have that opportunity. I appreciate all of the tailgating, the games, and the fun of Double Decker. Also, thank you for the endless construction wherever I walk. I have decided to find it charming. :)

Thanks for being my home away from home. Even though you have given me some pretty difficult times over the years, the good times outweigh the bad. If it weren't for you, I would not know how to overcome my failures and eventually succeed. Graduation is coming soon for me, and I will look back one day and miss my times here. I thank you for letting me be a part of the Ole Miss community. I will love you always.

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.
