Out of all the aspects in our lives, health and wellness are the most important ones. It's important to take measures to make yourself happy. Eat your favorite foods, splurge every now and then, do the things that make you ridiculously happy. It's never a good idea to do something when you're not okay, so take that mental health day once in a while.

Let your family and friends be an active part of your life

Even on your darkest days, don't forget that there is always someone who loves and cares about you. Of the billion people in the world, there is at least one person who has your back. Often times, that person is either a friend or a family member. Don't forget how much these people mean to you. Call them and check up on them.

One of the best things that you can do for yourself is love yourself. Love the things that make you uniquely you. Love your quirks, your smile, your laugh. Once you learn to love your whole body and mind, then you can start to love someone else.

Go to that party, go the dance, go to that social event

Just go. You never know who you might meet or what might happen. Don't miss out on a chance to go to a social outing.

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.
