As incoming freshman at Appalachian State received their room assignments this past Thursday/Friday, the class of 2020 Facebook page was flooded with excitment and questions. With a large variety of dorm choices and curiosity about who would be in the same dorm as us, the same kinds of thoughts soared through each of their minds.

1. ROOM ASSIGNMENTS

2. FINALLY
3. AFTER ALL THIS WAITING
4. Okay gmail this is not the time to not load.
5. *Patiently waits.*
6. What if I get the crappiest dorm possible?
7. What if my neighbors are too loud?
8. What if they're too quiet?
9. OKAY IT LOADED.
10. *Scrolls down*
11. OKAY SWEET I'M IN THAT DORM.
12. Wait which dorm is that?
13. Time to go on the school page and find out.
14. Why is this dorm so small.
15. Where am I going to put all my shoes?
16. I can't loft my bed????????
17. Okay so what about risers?
18. Hmm should I bunk it?
19. What if my roommate wants the top bunk but I want the top bunk?
20. Nah I'm not going to bunk it.
21. Look at all these Facebook posts about people being in their dorms.
22. West side best side.
23. Okay but what is the difference?
24. Good thing I'm on West side.
25. ITS GONNA BE LIT THIS YEAR.
26. Okay so who else is in my dorm?
27. Better check the Facebook page.
28. Oh look, there are six different Groupme's for my dorm.
29. Better join them all.
30. Can I go dorm shopping now?
31. I wonder how many shoes I can fit in that closet.
32. No air conditioning????
33. Where am I supposed to hang my towel?
34. Oh no, I didn't talk to my roommate before buying a bed-spread34. What if our room clashes?
35. Better text my roommate.
36. The laundry machine uses swipe cards instead of coins?
37. But I saved up coins all summer for laundry.
38. Hm what else can I use coins for?
39. I'll tip the pizza guy in quarters.
40. Yeah, that's what I'll do.
41. My dorm is so close to the stadium.
42. Does that mean I won't get to nap because of marching band practice?
43. But football seasons will be lit.
44. UGH BUT ITS UP A HILL.
45. At least I'll get enough exercise in to not have to go to the gym.
46. I'll probably fall on my butt walking up it in the snow.
47. It's close to food though.
48. I wonder how long it will take me to get to my classes from here.
49. Better get a carpet for my dorm floor so I don't freeze my feet off in winter.
50. Where am I going to put all my plants?
51. How do I hang things up if I can't use command hooks?
52. Wait, this person said I can use command hooks.
53. Whatever, I'll just use command hooks.
54. How much is 50 percent of my wall?
55. Oh look, another Groupme for my dorm.
56. These dorm rooms look nothing like the ones in movies.
57. How do I avoid showering at the same time as everyone else?
58. I'm really going to miss my bathtub in college.
59. At least there are vending machines downstairs in my dorm.
60. Oh crap, I have to go to work.
61. Better mute all of these Groupme's.

No matter what your personal thoughts were, we all shared one common one; this upcoming fall is going to start one of the best times of our lives.

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.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
