What You See On Jayhawk Boulevard

Jayhawk Boulevard is a magical place, full of beautiful architecture, rich history and intriguing people. But sometimes, you find yourself watching things or in some cases avoiding things when you are strolling through. Here are a few things that you might experience when you get to Jayhawk Boulevard.

You might see...

1.Smokers out in front of buildings and therefore you may be forced to try and to avoid having the second-hand smoke come into contact with your eyes or breathing it into your lungs. But it’s a free country and people can smoke where they want, right?

2.People finding it hard to understand how the Underground works. Yes, it’s a mess and everyone knows it, but we just have to find a cohesive way to struggle together in a way that doesn’t cause a total clusterf*$#.

3.Preachers out in front of Wescoe, avoid them like your life depends on it. Trust me.

4.The perplexed faces of the freshman who are still trying to get a hang of this whole college thing.

5.People dodging the onset of busses, bicyclists and skateboarders. Sometimes they just come out of nowhere, man.

6.The struggle of walking up that God forsaken hill. It really is that bad.

7.Frat-packs emerging from Budig, then insist on walking in a straight line and never leave any room for other people on the sidewalk. Thanks, guys.

8.The overall confusion that is Wescoe. Seriously, that building is stressful.

9. The reactions of the people who have never been around the whistle before. It's loud and sometimes takes you by surprise.

10. Total Jayhawk pride.

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.
