Some may recognize you as Mitchie Torres from "Camp Rock." Others may know you as Sonny Munroe from "Sonny with a Chance." If they've been fangirling since 2007, like I have, then they most definitely know you as Charlotte from As the Bells Rings. Whether Mitchie, Sonny, or Charlotte, you are the Demi Lovato we've loved since the very beginning, and I am here to say, thank you. Thank you for genuinely standing in front of the world bare, raw and transparent.

I remember watching your documentary, "Simply Complicated," and not being able to withhold the tears. It was astonishing to me that someone, especially a celebrity, could have so much courage to admit, "The last time I did an interview this long I was on cocaine" but you were telling us your truth. You shared your struggles, your journey to overcoming those hardships, and the battle to continue to remain so full of strength. You were and still continue to be, authentic and real.

The first time I heard "Sober," I instantly told my friend "Play it again." I froze in the car as soon as I heard "Wake me when the shakes are gone and the cold sweats disappear" because I immediately knew what came next. As your fan, I'm not mad or disappointed. I think you're extraordinary for having the balls to tell the entire world that you're not sober anymore. But like you said in the song, you're only human, and Demi, you are still my role model. I know that I have absolutely no idea what you're going through so I won't pretend or try to relate. I do, however, know that as humans we all make mistakes and all we can do in life is learn from them.

So, here's to another 7 years (of course we hope for more) of sobriety. Here is to you being free just like the words tattooed on your pinky finger. Thank you for teaching the world, especially women like myself, to be brave and authentic. Thank you for showing us that if we fall to get back up and wholeheartedly love ourselves through it all. I, along with the rest of the Lovatics have watched you fall again and we still think you're a queen.

We love you, Demi. Thank you.

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.
