As the school year approaches, us upperclassmen get more and more weary of heading back to class. Between all the new freshman and the same people we've gone to school with for a few years now, it takes a while to get back in the groove and regain the patience (or readopt the impatience) you had last semester. Here are 15 people you will definitely encounter during sylly week.

1. The freshman who raises his hand and asks to go to the bathroom in the middle of the professor's lecture.

It still blows my mind that this happens. Please… Don't be that person.

2. The girl who sits in the front row and asks way too many questions about the syllabus.

Seriously? Half of the class is hung over, can you just shut up so we can leave?

oh my god omg GIF

3. The newly minted Greeks who have to shove their letters in everyone's face.

We get it. You joined Alpha Chi Pineapple or whatever. Have fun being a bitch boy for the next 9 months.

4. The freshman who looks like she's going to cry while trying to find her class.

Yeah, campus is huge. Good luck trying to get from one end to the other in 10 minutes!

5. The groups of girls who haven't seen each other since May.

"OhmyGAWD, I missed you so much!" Take the reunion elsewhere or prepare to be shoulder-checked, honey.

6. The stoner senior in freshman-level classes who still seemingly does not care.

Drugs are bad, kids. So is paying $25,000 a year to flunk Psychology 1000 3 times.

7. The girl who decided going out the night before an 8 a.m. that isn't just about reviewing the syllabus was a bright idea.

Yeah, I see you over there with your Gatorade and glazed over eyes.

8. That one weird kid who you seem to have had at least one class with every semester since freshman year.

Just because we've had like 4 classes together doesn't mean we are friends, dude.

9. The freshman who is taking down every word the professor says.

The entire syllabus is literally on Canvas, just FYI.

10. The person who gets yelled at the very first day for doing something stupid.

Whether it be messing around on your phone or talking the whole time, some professors have no issue calling you out.

11. That one girl who already seems to be BFFs with the professor and all 4 of the TAs.

We get it, you like to be a kissass. Thanks for the heads-up so we all know who NOT to sit by.

12. The girl who thought her very first day of college was the prime time to dress extra cute.

It's 90 degrees, these classrooms have terrible AC and you are going to see these people for 50 minutes tops. Chill.

13. That couple you see EVERYWHERE who show a gross amount of PDA.

You're still together? Please stop.

14. The group of international students who all sit in a blob and speak in a different language just to seemingly make you uncomfortable.

Are you talking about my hair? Because yeah, I know it's atrocious this morning and I'm not sorry.

15. The annoying student orgs that set up booths and try to get you to join by giving you free food.

Sorry, even this cupcake can't get me interested in your basket weaving club or whatever.

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.
