You know you killed the game when you owned each of these things as a teen...

Five Ways To Know You Killed The Middle School Game

5 ways to know you killed the middle school game:

1. You insisted on having rainbow braces:

Because one or two colors weren’t enough, you had your orthodontist put the whole rainbow in your mouth. There was no better feeling than having both friends and strangers come up to you complimenting your new look. If that feeling wasn’t similar to cloud 9, then what is?

2. You lived in your Juicy Couture sweatsuits:

Growing up, you felt the need to own not only one, but multiple juicy sweatsuits. Because owning a black one wasn’t enough, you had your parents buy you an array of baby blue, hot pink, lime green and neon yellow sweatsuits (as well as juicy pocketbooks and charm bracelets to obviously complete the look.)

3. You also loved to rep Ed Hardy:

Honestly, you’re probably unsure of what you were thinking when you wore some clothes designed by Christian Audigier, but you do know that you felt cool at the time. You owned and wore so many of his products that you were basically a walking advertisement.

4. Oh, and don’t forgot the colored Uggs:

Because owning a pair with the buttons on the side wasn’t enough. You couldn’t have been more obnoxious wearing a pink, purple and blue pair in sixth grade.

Last but not least-

5. Your butter sweatshirts were some of your most prized possessions:

Looking back on this now, you feel so bad for convincing your mom to spend $100 on a sweatshirt that had studs on the sleeves and weird sayings on the back. We all knew we would never wear them after we graduated anyways.

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.
