With Prince Harry's recent wedding to Meghan Markle, the British royal family has been a big topic of conversation. Another popular topic is the birth of another royal baby - Prince Louis. His mother, Catherine Middleton, or as she's known in the UK - Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, married into the royal family in April 2011, and has been in the spotlight ever since.

Princess Kate, hile a picture-perfect example of a proper royal, is also one of the best role models for young women in today's society. Millions of girls look up to her, myself included, and here's why.

1. She is an advocate for mental health.

The princess recently launched a website all about mental health, in an effort to help teachers and students improve their knowledge on the subject. She was also featured in a Mental Health Awareness video for the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families. She also participated in the Heads Together mental health campaign with her husband and brother-in-law, which made an effort to change the way people talk about mental health and encourage those who struggle to reach out for help.

2. She is very passionate about helping children.

In addition to her work surrounding children's mental health, she also works closely with charities that provide hospice care to children with life-limiting conditions. She promotes several organizations that provide this care and has taken part n multiple fundraising campaigns for such charities.

3. She is incredibly fashionable.

This comes as no surprise, considering she's married to a man who is in line to become the King of England. She wears a wide variety of designers but is frequently seen in Dolce & Gabbana, Seraphine, Jenny Packham, and Jimmy Choo.

4. She's educated.

Kate holds a degree in Art History from the University of St. Andrew's in Scotland. Even though she doesn't put this degree to much work - when Will takes the throne, she will be the first Queen of England to have a college degree.

5. She is a wonderful mother.

The Duchess is often photographed holding her children, walking them in a stroller, or just hanging out with them, and the kids always look happy. You can tell from their public appearances how well they are being raised, as they are well-mannered and absolutely adorable. Also, Kate and Will have often made statements to the media asking them to respect the privacy of their children.

6. She's actually relatable.

When she and Will first broke up while at university, she was photographed at several not-very-princess-like parties. One time, paparazzi took a very sneaky, very scandalous photo of her sunbathing topless while on holiday. She was hospitalized during all three of her pregnancies for a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum (severe morning sickness).


Though she is married to a prince, and will one day be called Queen Catherine - Kate is someone that all young women can look up to and aspire to be like. She is passionate, she is caring, and she is classy.

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.
