If you're entering college as a Freshman, it can be pretty scary. Have no fear because I'll help you with all the tips and tricks you need. This will be like Delaney's Declassified Freshman Survival Guide, except not because that would be copyright infringement. I'll just give you some ideas on how to survive your Freshman year of college.

The first tip is to make sure that you befriend the people who work in any area with food because it will be made better and with love. This is important because food is important. This is how you start off with a bang. Writing an article and in life, you start off with a bang by talking about food. You will be that funny, so relatable, hashtag goals kid. "OMG you love food too?! Yaaas best friend for life fam." So make sure you talk about food to everyone you meet, comment on others food, try a bite of their food, make them food, and make them into food. Wait what? So as long as food is topic of conversation, you'll be popular.

If you're ever finding yourself late to class, just invest in a pair of heelys. You'll roll right up to your desk and probably fall over but, you'll be on time and that's all professors care about! Grades? Nah. Homework? Forget it! Your mental health and well-being? WHAT'S THAT?! But, you walk in one minute late and the world smokes over and ends. Also, god forbid there's a coffee in your hand. Such heathen behavior that is.

Next tip is on the first day of classes, when professors ask if you have a preferred nickname, always respond with "Harambe." That should be everyone's nickname. Rest his soul.

If you're at a social gathering and a creepy boy is trying to hit on you and getting closer by the minute, don't worry just tell him how you're mentally unstable and can com-bust at any minute. If that doesn't work, because guys seem to love that, just say you're a feminist because that really is creep repellent. No, really if you're not a feminist you should be.

Always make sure that your music is playing so loud through your headphones, that others can hear it. Why have my own headphones when I could just listen to a mumbled version of yours? It really saves my phone battery!

Make sure to scream your political/ religious views to anyone with ears. That really gets you friends. Especially if you have car bumper stickers expressing those views!

Finally just have fun. Life is too short not to have fun in college, especially with the Illuminati trying to kill us all and what not. So eat that burrito, binge watch that show on Netflix, go to that frat, make friends with a space alien, swallow some questionable liquids, and make sure you study. Grades are important, but not the world and I don't want to give all this great advice without including that. If you fail a test, you'll get 'em next time. If you fail 5 tests then what are you doing? Use the tutoring center that your thousands of dollars of tuition is going toward.

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.
