From the Jayhawk Nation.

To The Men Of KU Basketball

After taking a few days to settle down and filter through all my emotions I felt during the University of Oklahoma versus the University of Kansas basketball game, I can now say thank you -- not only for one of the most exciting games in NCAA history, but for every game I have watched you play and will continue to watch you play. I believe that it is not a KU basketball game unless you've gone through about 100 different emotions. You boys keep us on our toes, always guessing, and never allowing us to stray for one second from watching your games.

To our veterans Mason, Selden, Graham, Manning, Mykhailiuk, Self, Greene, Traylor, Lucas, Ellis, and Mickelson: Thank you for showing our new players the way we do it here at KU, and being phenomenal examples. When you men step on the court, your fans all sit back in their seats a little more in confidence knowing you can handle whatever comes your way. You have made this 2015-2016 team what it is!

To our amazing new additions: Vick, Diallo, Bragg, Young, and Coleby. Thank you for living up to the hype when you joined the Jayhawk family. You have fit perfectly on the court with the veteran basketball players.

To the coaching staff: Thank you for always supporting our players and dedicating an extreme amount of your time to one of the greatest basketball programs in the country.

And to the one and only Bill Self: Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you for keeping KU basketball what it is for so many years, and continuing a truly amazing tradition. You always believe in those boys and stand up for them which is something every Jayhawk fan and player appreciates. You're an extraordinary coach, and we thank you for allowing KU to be your home.

The Jayhawk Nation is not the only group of people who can see this team going to the National Championship. Here in Lawrence, we live for watching the KU basketball team and this year's team is the whole package! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, as well as hearts of Jayhawk fans all across this World. You men put a smile on our faces every day.

This team is going to do amazing things.

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.
