1) Learn how to say NO

In any situation, whether you do not like the way your nails turned out or you want someone to leave you alone. Gather up your britches and have the courage to say enough is enough.

2) Walk the Walk

Pick your head up when you walk, straighten that posture and walk as if you are strutting Louis Vuitton heels on and as if you are ready to conquer the world.

3) Challenge Yourself

Run that 5K. Wear that outfit you feel insecure in. Take 18 credit hours. Do any task that challenges you for the better.

4) Don't always live life on the safe side

Go somewhere you have never been, go up to the guy or girl you have been trying to talk to for months, heck even go skydiving. You can surprise yourself with the strength you have.

5) Tell EVERYONE like it is

Never be afraid to be honest, there are times to sit back and be silent but there are other times to stand up for yourself. If they crossed the line, they crossed the line. Remember. You are a tough a cookie.

6) Don't Take No for an answer

If someone says you are not good enough to do it, accomplish that task ten times in a row.

7) Dream Big

The more you believe you are capable of everything, the more it actually becomes reality.

8) Treat Yo'self

Give yourself time to treat the royalty inside you. Take a nap, get a facial, whatever floats your boat.

9) Become Who You Want to Be

If you see anything wrong with yourself, dig deep and fix it. Don't wake up in the morning and wish something was different. If it's wanting to be further educated go do it, if it's wanting to learn a new language, whatever the case; get on board because you never know when your last day will be.

10) Try Something New

You know that food everyone is afraid to try? Or roller coaster no one will ride? You do it, because you as a person will grow from this and it will shine outwards that you are a tough cookie that is not afraid to try anything new.

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.
