As an avid coffee and tea drinker, I never find myself in need of a mug, but constantly in want of more. I have about seventeen as of now (not exaggerating)! As I have gotten older, the affinity for adorable drink wear has become more of a hobby, which is now a prospering collection. I always buy a souvenir mug from any travel excursions and I more often than not receive one for a birthday, holiday, or special occasion. Here is a list of my most unique and favorite mugs and where to get them.

1. Elephant Mug

Anyone who knows me knows I have a borderline obsession for all-things-elephant. My lovely sister bought this gem for me at an Urban Outfitters in Chicago.

Urban Outfitters, $16

2. Chewbacca Mug

I had been searching for a Chewie mug for quite some time when, lo and behold, the glorious Super Target granted my wishes, as usual.

Target, $7.99

3. Hedwig Mug

I found this mug while perusing the aisles of Barnes 'N Noble one day. What better way to fulfill a bookworm's desires than sipping tea from a mug in the shape of an owl from one of her favorite series?

Barnes 'N Noble, $14.95

4. Jane Austen Quotes Mug

I found this mug in a quaint little coffee-shop-slash-bookstore in Chicago. Jane Austen is a legend, so she deserves nothing less than to be memorialized on a ceramic drinking dish.

Amazon, $14.95

5. "Wag More, Bark Less" Mug

This mug was very inexpensive and very high quality, as most products at Hollywood Feed (a pet supply company out of Mississippi) are.

Hollywood Feed, $3

6. Watercolor Corgi Mug

Another obsession of mine (this one might warrant me as certifiably crazy) is with corgis. So my sister, yet again, gifted me with the perfect materialization of that obsession.

This was a gift :)

7. Ugly Sweater Mug

I received this mug through a gift swap at a Christmas party. I had seen it at Target a few days before, so when I set my eyes upon it at that party, I knew it was going to be mine.

Target, $4.99

8. Giant Disney Mug

Disney World is known for not only its fun and magic, but its loyal consumers, and I am proud to be one of those consumers. I am in love with the Cheshire Cat, mugs, and things that are larger than is necessary. I found one object in a store in the Magic Kingdom that encompassed all three of those loves!

Disney World or Disney Store, $19.99

I believe the vessel that carries a beverage is just as important as the beverage itself. I hope you found some mugs on this list you loved! I know that when I am drinking from a cute, quirky, ceramic dish I feel 100x better. So go buy yourself a mug. Treat yourself. You deserve it.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
