Different people, amazing friends.

Dear College Students
Stephanie Anderson

In spirit of surviving Lawrence Tech's first week of the spring semester for the third time, I just want to give all college students a brief shout-out (no matter which group you fit into.)

Dear Fellow Over-Achievers,

Thank you for being involved in too many things, trying way too f*cking hard, and probably being as crazy as I am. Thanks for taking extra detailed notes, helping your friends with homework, and motivating others. Thank you for going the extra mile and picking up the slack in your group projects. Thank you for being the encouragement someone needs when they think they aren't good enough.

Dear Average Students,

Thanks for giving the over-achievers a chill pill when they need to take a step back. You probably get enough sleep too. Thanks for still helping other students out and pulling your weight in the process. Thanks for making fun of the other two types of students. After all, C's get degrees (and probably the same job as the over-achievers with half the work involved, way to show us up.)

Dear Under-Acheivers,

Thanks for giving the average students and over-achievers a purpose and a good laugh when the professor is being ridiculous. Thanks for the good days and the better nights. Thanks for scraping by and still passing a class, showing us the dream of a degree hasn't died in our generation. Finally, thank you for being great people and making college enjoyable.

Have a bomb ass semester guys!

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.

Being Invisible The Best Super Power

The best superpower ever? Being invisible of course. Imagine just being able to go from seen to unseen on a dime. Who wouldn't want to have the opportunity to be invisible? Superman and Batman have nothing on being invisible with their superhero abilities. Here are some things that you could do while being invisible, because being invisible can benefit your social life too.

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.
