If you've been in college, you have gotten extremely used to living with other people. Whether it be dorm rooms or apartment complexes, you've had to share your space. Sharing your space seems like a hassle most days and you can't wait until you have a bathroom to yourself.

When summer comes around and your roommates go home, you think it's going to be a good time, until it actually happens.

I'm going to have the entire place to do whatever I want!

No pants 24/7, I get to pick the Netflix show and I don't have to share my snacks.

There's sooo much space for all of my stuff!

Wow, I don't have to move 10 things to reach my milk from the fridge and I can leave my stuff everywhere.

It's so quiet with no one here.

​Did I think that out loud or did I actually say it?

It's actually really creepy here when three other people aren't around.

​Did I just hear something? I just heard something. Someone is definitely trying to break in.

Is this what adults who live alone feel like?

Not sure if I'll ever be able to live alone.

I wonder what my roommates are doing...

This is where you start stalking their social media accounts and judging their friends from home.

Maybe I'll just send them a little text and see if they're coming back to visit.

They will probably come back and visit soon. Home is probably way too boring. Wait, you aren't coming back until school starts?

Whatever, living alone is great!

It's no biggy, I have other friends here!

I use to talk to a girl in Econ and we bonded over our mutual struggle in the class. She'll def want to hangout.

OK... I miss them.

Eating junk food and going on spontaneous shopping trips just isn't the same.

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.
