Colorado Mesa University

One of our favorite weeks of the school year is finally upon us: Homecoming Week! The week that brings alumni, faculty, parents, students and most importantly, our mascot, all together. A week dedicated to appreciating our school and showcasing just how much school spirit we all have. I want to make sure all of my CMU readers are in the loop on all of the events going on this week so here's a quick recap of what to attend.

Monday, October 17th: Rowdy's Birthday Celebration, University Center 11-2pm

There will be sugar cookies and cupcakes to decorate, music, and of course Rowdy! Snap a pic with him and celebrate his special day Mav style.

Tuesday, October 18th: Casino Night, University Center Ballroom 6-8pm

It's Casino night and the game is poker so make sure your poker face is on fleek and get ready for a Vegas style of a good time. Did I mention there will be prizes to win?

Wednesday, October 19th: Foam Finger Decorating, University Center 11-2 pm

There's absolutely nothing that showcases classic school spirit like a foam finger. The foam fingers and crafts will be provided by PAC, (all free with your MavCard) it's perfect to have for the big football game Saturday night and to use as room decor!

Thursday, October 20th: Pub Night @ The Warehouse 8-11 pm

One of my favorite events of the month is Pub Night and the fact that it's at The Warehouse makes it even more exciting. If you haven't been to a Pub Night yet you're not going to want to miss this one. The Warehouse is literally a warehouse turned into a brewery/restaurant and the ambiance is pretty neat.

Friday, October 21st: Bonfire, Near Dominguez Hall 8-10 pm

This is where the tradition of the burning of the other teams mascot all started. This year as we play Adams State University in football we will be burning their mascot, the grizzly bear at the bonfire. Don't worry, it's not the actual mascot as that would be kind of hard to get hold of, but a paper mache duplicate hand made by the Art Department. Burn, baby, burn!

Saturday, October 22nd: Parade, Student Tailgate, and Football Game

The most jam packed day of them all. The parade hosted by various clubs on campus takes place on Main St. starting at 2pm. Then the student tailgate starts at 4 pm followed by the football game at 7pm which all take place at Stocker Stadium.

There you have it, I hope you guys are looking forward to this week as much as I am. Let's make the most out of it and paint the town in maroon and yellow!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
