A Guide On How To Handle People In Your Life That Are Faker Than A Pet Rock
Whitney Cavenaugh

How do you deal with fake people? It's something I've asked myself for a really long time, and think I finally have the answer to this haunting question.

What's the answer? You don't. You absolutely have no reason to waste your time on people who are not going to give you the legitimacy you deserve as a human. If someone in your life is being two-faced or fake with you, then you have every right to cut them out of your life without any warning.

I realize that a lot of people are going to disagree with me, but here's the tea: it's 2019 and no one has time to deal with fake people. We all have a million other things we need to do or could be doing, instead of dealing with people who don't know how to show their true feelings. I've got school work to do, articles to write, friends to make memories with, music to listen to, job interviews to go to, novels to plan, papers to edit; I do not have time to waste on you and your lies.

The world has so much to offer to you. There are a million other things to do. There's fresh air to breathe in and sunshine to bask under. There are books to read and television shows to binge. Places to go, people to see, memories to make. Why would you ever waste an ounce of time on people whose only interest is to make your life more and more toxic with every day that passes?

So with that, I leave you with my final advice. Block their numbers, unfollow them on Instagram, delete your photos with them. Take a deep breath and move on to the next thing you need to do. These people don't deserve another second of your time. It's 2019, baby, we're living for ourselves and positivity.

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.
