We all know that bandwagon fans exist, usually right around time for a big game. They are created equally throughout all sports. Unfortunately, sometimes you might find yourself in a position that causes you to ask yourself, "Am I a bandwagon fan??" Now to be fair, everyone starts out as a bandwagon fan but it's your loyalty that you show to the team that dictates if you are truly a fan or another fair-weather fan.

Luckily for you, I have put together a list of five questions you should ask yourself if you believe you could possibly be a band-wagoner.

1. Do you have a new found appreciation for (enter sport here)?

Maybe we can thank uncle Tom for bringing you onto your new favorite sport to watch but if not, and you've only begun watching because of you're new favorite team....odds are, you're probably a bandwagon fan.

2. Did you purchase new fan gear after a winning season?

If you're a loyal fan whose support goes back further than the most recent season, you could possibly be updating your fan apparel. BUT, if you find yourself surfing the team's website to find the newest sweatshirts to show your buddies you're in the game too, then you're probably a bandwagon.

3. Can you name anyone on the team besides the star players?

Chances are if you cannot name at least five players from your favorite team excluding the spotlight players(all sports included), you're probably a bandwagon fan.

4. Can you recall historical stats for the team dating back to past years?

If you can't name that monumental moment in your team's history(the one all the fans know by heart), you're probably a bandwagon fan.

5. Do you support all of the teams as long as they are winning?

If you have chosen not to settle on sharing your loyalty with just one team but all the best teams that make up the sport, you're probably a bandwagon fan!

Hopefully, for your sake, you've discovered that your heart lies with one team that you've supported for years and years or will support for years and years to come. However, if you have come to the conclusion that you are, in fact, a bandwagon fan, then you should probably stay away from those very intense sports conversations that always end by challenging each other's loyalty to your favorite team.

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.
