I'm in the process of growing out my hair. Lucky for me, so is my roommate.

Right now, my hair is in the awkward "frat boy" stage. The awkward stage doesn't last very long in the grand scheme of things, but it can feel like forever. Beyond that, every stage between your initial pixie cut and your goal length can feel like an awkward stage.

Here are some of the most common things I've heard since I decided to grow my hair out.

"Are you growing your hair out?"

Nope, I love this length. "Frat boy" is the aesthetic I've been aiming for!

*hair grows a little* "Wow, your hair has gotten so long!"

Has it? Has it, really?

"At least you're pretty!"

That doesn't make me any happier about this mop, but thanks. I guess.

"Why don't you just cut it?"

I don't look like this by choice, but no. I'm not gonna cut it.

"Short hair must be so much easier to style!"

Yeah! If you think that pomade, straightening, hairspray, and only being able to shower in the morning is "easy".

"Your eyebrows look really good!"

They're front and center, so believe me–I know they look good. They better.

"I like your hair better long."

Good thing I'm growing it out, then.

"You look like a lesbian now."

Hair length is synonymous with sexual orientation, so... Yeah. I get that.

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.
