A Man Among Women
Brooke Ashley Williams

Alright ladies, imagine this: you live in a house dominated by girls. You have access to endless amounts of shoes, clothes, make up, wine, scarves, hair products, romance novels and movies. Sounds pretty good right? Trust me, nothing is more interesting than growing up in a household of all females. Disagree? Well, talk to the man who has had to put up with his wife, three daughters, and a female dog for 25 years. I know, God bless him.

I was born in a female dominate house. It has definitely molded me into the person I am today. My sister and I are surely momma's girls. I know it couldn't have been easy for my dad. As the man of the house, he had to find his place among us girls. After many trial and errors over the years, he dubbed himself "Captain Fun.' He took us to get ice cream, taught us how to ride our bikes, and took us to every Boston sport game at least once. We understand he has to spend so much time listening to the endless gossip, emotional stories, and little fights about who took whose favorite shirt. So what would you do to get away from this girly chaos? Create a man- cave obviously. Ironically, my sisters and I took over that man cave shortly after.

My sisters and I have endless stories about how our dad has shaped us as the women we are today. One aspects all our stories have in common is that he is always there for us no matter what. Even when one of us brings home a new boyfriend. I personally think he is just excited to have another male in the house. Instead of striking fear into them, as he should, he befriends them. So any guy interested in a Williams girl, keep in mind he loves the following: Heineken, cigars, the Patriots, Harley Davidson and Pink Floyd. He likes to befriend you, but he has a trigger figure for never liking you again. For instance, he is very protective over his girls. So if you don't respect us, you better watch out for him.

My dad has never let me down. He has always been there for my sisters and I. Whether he drives three hours to come get us from a sticky situation or just some there to crack a laugh out of us, he always is there. I feel lucky to call him my dad. He may not be the boss in my family, my mom has that role covered; but he has always lead our family to success by giving my sisters and I every single opportunity possible. And for that, I am eternally grateful. When I asked my dad what it is like living in a house of girl he said in his sarcastic voice, "Sometimes I'm overwhelmed by the emotions that all the girls have together against their dad. But I would not want anything else. I thoroughly enjoy this."

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.
