Is It October Yet?

My favorite season of all.

23
Is It October Yet?

No, I'm not looking forward to Pumpkin Spice Lattes, haunted houses or even Halloween. Those don't even compare to how excited I am for hockey season: my favorite season of them all.

October means that after about three and a half long months, I can finally turn on the TV and watch a live hockey game.

October means that I get to break the bank buying tickets for the best seats for the best price.

October means that I get to wear hockey jerseys all the time and it's socially acceptable.

October means that if I got out to a restaurant and they aren't playing a hockey game and one is on, then I am automatically upset.

October means that Joe Louis Arena is my favorite place to be.

October means that Hockeytown is my second favorite place to be.

October means that I get to see if the teams put their new draftees to work or just benched them.

October means that I can start scheduling my life and schooling around hockey games.

October means that I can set up my fantasy league with all of my favorite players.

October means that Stanley Cup predictions are already brewing.

October means that my phone lights up every two minutes between the hours of 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. because I'm getting score updates.

October means that I wish I was financially capable of holding season tickets.

October means that if you're rooting for a team other than the Red Wings, then you're doing it wrong.

October means that all of the bandwagon Blackhawks fans come out from hiding.

October means that I yell at my phone (good or bad) and my friends ask me what happened and all I have to say is hockey.

October means that I can start putting team merchandise on my Christmas list.

October means that I can finally play NHL 17.

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.
