The 'Mamma Mia!' Quote I Live By
Skyler Anderson

Now, my favorite movie of all time is "Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again," this movie is my dream. I would kill to be young Donna (played by Lilly James). One quote that stuck with me from this movie is, "Life is short, the world is wide, I wanna make some memories."

Let's break this down. Life is short. On average you have about 70 years on this earth and for a good chunk of those, your parents get to decide what you do. Then, with all the things to do in this world, will you have enough time to do it all? Pus, calculate in the time you have to spend working and doing all the parts of daily life, you have even less tie than you thought. And, you never know what can happen, you aren't promised another day.

The world is wide. A true statement. The world is wide and vast and there is so much to see. One hundred and ninety-five countries. That's a lot. There are also wide differences around the world, so many cultures to be enriched with.

I wanna make some memories. Pretty self-explanatory.

Here's the summary. I'm not guaranteed any amount of time on this earth, I want to use it while I have it. I have a lot of ground to cover in this wide world. And you can bet your money I'm gonna make some memories while doing it.

I want to travel to as many countries as possible and meet more people than I can remember so that I can connect and feel like I have come to understand this world. But, I also want to make some crazy memories. I want to skydive, I want to bungee jump, I want to swim with sharks, I want to travel alone and be perfectly terrified and perfectly in awe at the same time. Because...

"Life is short, the world is wide, I wanna make some memories." — Donna Sheridan

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.
