You Know Those Feelings You Cannot Explain?
Crescent June

You know those feelings you get that you can’t explain? They all have a name.

  1. You know when you’re driving or walking through the store and you start to wonder about the lives other people live? How they have a life completely different than yours? How you have different experiences? You wonder about their lives and how they have a mind that controls all their thoughts just like you do. That’s called sonder, and you aren’t the only one who does it.
  2. You know when you look around and you just watch the people around you and you know you don’t fit in? That feeling of being different. That emotion that tells you you will never fit in. never be like everyone else. It’s called monachopisis, and we’ve all probably felt that way before.
  3. You know when you look back to your younger self and you want to tell her/him you made it to the future? You never thought you’d reach the point where you have a license but you did. Where you finally go to college when you never thought that day would come. That feeling of contentment knowing you made it to a place in your life and wanting to tell the smaller version of you is called énouement.
  4. When you don’t know if flying cars will ever exist or if The Hunger Gameswill be a reality. When you know you won’t be able to see how the world turns out is the feeling of ellipsism.
  5. Those experiences you’ve had in life, the ones you know no one else has ever had to go through. The one where you can’t talk about it because you know no one can relate. It’s exulansis.
  6. You ever get annoyed by how much effort it takes just to get to know someone? You have to get past the awkward silences and the pointless small talk. You have to learn how someone really is. Get to know their personality. Their fascinations. Commonalities that connect you. That annoying little feeling of hardship is called adronitis.

There are so many more feelings we have had but could never be described. Go to this link to find out more: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/374924737715665523/s...

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.
