To Dry Shampoo, A Love Letter
Holly Barnett

When you're in college you really start to get a sense of who you are. You go through struggles and hardships that really shape who you are as a person. You meet friends that will be with you forever and memories that will last a lifetime (wow is that cheddar or mozzarella because it's getting cheesy). And for some people, they meet the love of their life. And ladies and gentleman we can all say that it's dry shampoo.

First and foremost, if you don't own dry shampoo, go to Target right now and get some. It is the best thing that has ever happened to this world. Forget sliced bread, we are talking clean hair, people!!!

Dear Dry Shampoo,

Without you, I would not be presentable. Not only do I look homeless on a day-to-day basis but without you, I would look homeless with oily hair. People would look at me funny but since others opinions don't matter, I would walk around campus with oily hair.

Showers are hard sometimes. You get home, you are tired and hungry, you want to watch Netflix and go to bed but wait — you can't, because your hair is oily. And that is where you, my friend, save the day.

Thank you for letting me go to sleep early some days. Whenever I have an occasion to attend, you are there for me when I oversleep my alarm and miss shower time.

You are there when I need to add volume to my hair. You are there at my lowest times, and you help pull me up. I honestly don't know what you are made of, but I know it's God's powder that he blessed this Earth with so we could be decently presentable.

You never fail me. You are always there. I love you, dry shampoo. An Oscar, Grammy, and Tony to you, my friend.

See you soon (tomorrow morning),

A struggling college student

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.

Being Invisible The Best Super Power

The best superpower ever? Being invisible of course. Imagine just being able to go from seen to unseen on a dime. Who wouldn't want to have the opportunity to be invisible? Superman and Batman have nothing on being invisible with their superhero abilities. Here are some things that you could do while being invisible, because being invisible can benefit your social life too.

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
