More Excellent Advice From Aliens
Maddy McKeever

Welcome back to Walkr: Fitness Space Adventure. These aliens give you advice as you walk around the universe exploring their planets with this pedometer app. Whether it's advice on keeping you healthy or happy, these extraterrestrials will keep a smile on your face with their messages. Here are 15 motivational messages from aliens to make your day:

1. Stop and smell the roses

Maddy McKeever

Take time to stop and watch the sunrise. Don't get so caught up in your day to day lives to not take a moment here and there to appreciate nature and the little things.

2. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus

Maddy McKeever

Belief is a powerful thing. All that was left in Pandora's box was hope, so don't take that away from children when it keep them happy. Imagination should be encouraged.

3.  You can lie down and die, or, you can fight regardless of the odds

Maddy McKeever

Don't be surprised if you back someone into a corner that they'll do whatever they can to get out. Forcing others into actions they don't agree with will never end well for you. Being manipulative will bite you in the ass eventually.

4. Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it

Maddy McKeever

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Be confident in your qualities that make you unique, because to someone out there they are special.

5. Don't wait for another year older for you to learn something new

Maddy McKeever

You're never to old to learn something new. Old dogs can learn new tricks. Go back to school, learn the guitar, or anything else you wanted to accomplish because you can still do it.

6. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you

Maddy McKeever

Be considerate of others. Be aware if those around you and how you are affecting them. Treat others how you would want to be treated.

7. The nation that destroys its soil destroys itself

Maddy McKeever

Take care of the planet around you and it will take care of you. We can't live on a dead planet, so be conscientious of your impact on the environment. What is the good of having a nice house without a decent planet to put it on?

8. Take care of yourself and others

Maddy McKeever

Studies have shown that we need 4 hugs a day for survival, 8 hugs a day for maintenance, and 12 hugs a day for growth. Don't be afraid to show physical affection to not only those you love, but those that need affection.

9. Be a fountain, not a drain

Maddy McKeever

In order to get, you must also give. Don't take more than you give or you won't have anything later to come back to and get. People shouldn't be resources for you to exploit. Every relationship should have a balance that is mutually beneficial.

10. You can't have dark without light

Maddy McKeever

Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. Light and dark are a binary, and one cannot exist without the other. Just be careful of casting a shadow on those behind you in your pursuit of success. You cannot have a stable house without the foundation that supports it.

11. Procrastination is the enemy of progress

Maddy McKeever

Eating your feelings won't make your work go away. The only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time. The best way to dispel worries is to take them one step at a time and work to fix what is causing them.

12. Relax the body, relax the mind

Maddy McKeever

We need time to defuse, to contemplate, and let our brains sleep and dream. Someone exhausted needs time to disconnect and reconnect to be on top of their game. Nothing rejuvenates like a good night's sleep.

13. When words fail, food speaks

Maddy McKeever

Food is an international language. Even when you can't speak someone's language, you can share an experience through sharing a meal. We all need to eat. Showing affection doesn't have to be done through flouncy words; affection can be shown through actions.

14. You don't have to brighten someone else's existence

Maddy McKeever

You are not required to burn yourself up to keep other people warm. The fire inside you should always be brighter than that around you. Taking care of others is important, but you should always be your first priority.

15. No day is so bad it can't be fixed with a nap

Maddy McKeever

Take time for self care, whether it be a nap, a bath, or just a cup of tea. Let yourself have those five minutes to decompress and rest between the chaos of everyday life. Let yourself stop and nurse a cup of tea until you can see the bottom of the cup.

Whether the advice deeply helps your life, or if it just gave you an extra smile today, I hope these little extraterrestrials have made an impression. Sometimes you just need a beetle to tell you that you are beautiful.

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.
