Going Home For Christmas Break As Told By April Ludgate
The Main Damie

Every semester there's always that amazing feeling when you finish your last final, walk out of the classroom, get in your car and speed off campus like your life depend on it.

Then, once home, you throw on your comfy pajamas, open your Netflix, and begin binging shows like there's no tomorrow.

Until your mom tells you to clean your room or do the dishes, of course. Which is when you realize that there are some upsides to living on campus where you can have your room as messy you want.

Then, as Christmas gets closer, you have to scramble to find presents for your friends and family members.

And of course there's always Christmas dinner with family, and you always end up stuck next to the weird cousin or uncle and you're just looking at your parents like:

Then someone brings up the election and you know everything is about to go downhill from there.

But then you just pour yourself another glass like:

Before long, Christmas dinner is over and you're getting into your car to leave with all your presents from your family that you didn't want to begin with.

Then you get to spend time with your friends and celebrate New Years, while you spend all the money you got from Christmas so you're feeling like


But before long you realize it's almost time to go back to school.

And you begin ordering your books for classes and packing your clothes back up.

Then of course your parents get sad when you have to hug them goodbye the day you leave for school again.

But you know that you'll be back soon for Spring break and you're ready to face the semester!

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.
