I would like to tell you all about a young hero of my native country -- India -- who has excelled in field hockey. It gives me immense pleasure to write about the extremely talented Olympian V R Raghunath in this article. I have known him since my childhood days and have spent time with him. He has given a lot to Indian field hockey. He has been dedicated and passionate about field hockey and strived towards his goals to realize his dream of playing for the country.

He has been a role model to the younger generation and will remain to be an inspiration for all sporting youth in India and around the world. He is one of the best drag- flickers in the world and plays as a fullback for India. He is exceptionally fit and has a strong will power on and off the field. He has been a strong influence in keeping Indian defense strong as a fullback. He was part of the Indian team winning a bronze in the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup in 2007, Silver in 2008, Gold in the 2007 Asia cup and Silver in 2013. He was also awarded the "Best Player of the Tournament" in the 2013 Asia cup. He has won many other accolades and awards for India. He has won important games and has played key roles in winning games.

He is also the captain of the Uttar Pradesh Wizards hockey team in the Hockey India League. He is one of the senior most players in the game and having him by our side certainly increases our chances of winning the Olympic Gold this year at Rio. His experience and guidance to the younger players and other teammates along with the experience of our coach Roelant Oltmans will bring out a positive influence in the Indian Men’s Hockey team. The coach has also revealed that he is planning to use multiple captains in the Rio Olympics. Raghunath’s experience in foreign countries and different turf surfaces would help the team achieve its dreams. As a true field hockey fan, I wish that the team would perform well and bring the gold medal home to India. The last gold that we won was in 1980 and I wish that Raghunath and this wonderful team bring home glory. I wish Raghunath all the very best and he plays well and wins more games for us!

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.
