Choosing what you take is the best!

In high school all we want to do is graduate and get to college. In high school there are all these rules and most of the time that is why we want to leave. In college, well we don't have the rules that high school does and it's great. Here are five reasons why college is better than high school.

1. No dress code

You can literally wear whatever you want.

2. You choose what classes you take.

And with that, you're less miserable in class.

3. Phones are allowed (sometimes)

Ok, so this is actually a bigger deal than it seems. At my college, some professors are stricter on this policy, but some are very lenient. When you can have your phone out, there is a weird comfort about it and that isn't good for the generation because it shows how attached we are to our phones. It is helpful, however, if we need to Google something and we don't have our computers, we can just whip out our phone.

4. Less drama

I repeat: LESS DRAMA. In college, you don't have to be around people that you don't want to be around. In high school, it was inevitable to run into someone you didn't like and there was a better chance for the drama to start. In college you just avoid people and nobody knows you in the beginning so why would you get something started when you don't even have to?

5. Friends

College friends are better than high school friends. In college, you can decide who you want to become friends with because it's a fresh start, but in high school, you knew everyone and were automatically friends/acquaintances with them. College friends are lifelong friends, whereas high school probably isn't.

If you're like me you probably only talk to about three people you graduated with and only one is still your bestie for the restie. I mean don't we want friends like Ross, Chandler, Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, and Joey?

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.
