Urban Dictionary defines “cooties" as,

"A way of little girls telling other little girls not to play with boys and vice versa. Ex: You played with little Jimmy? Ooow, you're going to get cooties."

Fortunately, as we grow older, we realize two crucial facts: First, never trust Urban Dictionary and second, a girl and boy CAN simply be just friends, maybe even best friends. If you are lucky enough to have a boy best friend in your life, here are a few things you probably owe him a thank you for:

Thank him for always being someone to talk to, or should I say listen to you, as you babble on about countless little things he has no interest in/desire to talk about. He sits there (blank expression on his face) and nods anyway.

Thank him for always answering the very annoying, yet commonly asked question, "Are you two dating?"


Thank him again after that for the times he does actually pretend to be your boyfriend, so that the creepy boy from your math class will stop asking you out and leave you alone.

Thank him for never judging you for how weird you are or more importantly how much you eat around him, even when it's double what he ate all day.

Thank him for always giving you his brutally honest opinion even if he knows you won't want to hear it. He just wants to see you happy because he knows you deserve it.

Thank him for letting you drag him around shopping and talking about a variety of girly things he probably could have gone his whole life without ever talking about.

Thank him for never caring what you look like and always assuring you that you look good, even on days you're certain your appearance is similar to that of someone who was recently hit by a bus.


Most importantly, as hard as it might be for you to admit it to him, thank him for being such a good friend.

Thank him for being someone who is always there for you.

Thank him for being someone that you can trust and someone you're lucky to have in your life.

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.
