Holiday Shopping is Here! Are You Ready?

The Holidays are here! Whether that means you are filled with the joy and love that the holidays are supposed to bring or you are filled with the dread of spending all the money that you have saved up, you can't deny that there is something special in the air as the holidays approach. As Black Friday comes to a close, I figure, what better way to kick off the first traditional week of holiday shopping than with a list of feelings we all have when we are all shopping for the most wonderful time of the year?

1. When you find the perfect gift for someone

2. Trying to find parking at your local mall or shopping center


3. Finally finding said parking spot then having someone take it right out from under you

4. Walking into the mall and knowing that you might see what hell looks like

5. When a store is too crowded and you decide to nope the hell out of there

6. When you see a fight break out in a store

7. But then you start to take a side and secretly cheer them on

8. When you only have one more person on your list

9. You're finished! You are finally done with holiday shopping!

10. But then you realize you have to face the wrath of the parking lot again

So, whether you are absolutely pumped to find that perfect gift, or you are dreading the mere thought of being around the masses of people who are all there for the same reason, it's always important that we remember the real reason for the holidays, and that is to be with the people we love. When you go holiday shopping this season, be respectful to other people and keep in mind that when it is all said and done, you don't have to worry about doing it again for a whole year!

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.
