No one ever asks me how to get into a good college, but you know what, here's my unsolicited advice anyway. You're welcome.

1. Pick Your Schools

Start as early as possible. Even when you’re a gamete, you should be thinking about what your reaches are and what your last resorts are. Don’t worry if you’re still an unfertilized sex cell, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

2. Prep for Your SATs

While you’re in the womb, tell your mom to read an SAT prep book aloud for you. Forget Mozart, it’s all about the Princeton Review. You have got to get a jump on those standardized tests if you want a competitive application.

3. Participate in Extracurriculars
The second your mom gives birth to you, you should be participating in extracurriculars. Not only participating, you should be leading them. Colleges fully expect you to have 10 years of leadership experience by the time you’re 2, so you better get cracking.

4. Found a Successful Company

Everyone knows that in order to get into college in this day and age, you have to have started multiple clubs and foundations in order to stand out, but I’ll do you one better. Become the CEO of a multi-million startup; it’ll be pretty hard to ignore you then.

So there you have it! Just 4 easy steps to get into the college of your dreams. Feel free to go above and beyond these of course, as this is just the bare minimum.



*Disclaimer: This is satire. Honestly, don’t freak yourself out. I know that’s easier said than done, but college is just one step on the path of life.*

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.
