I Hope You Become Friends With Your Neighbors In College
Megan Aaron

Now I know a lot of college students live in dorms, or apartments, and not houses. I get that. But even if you don't live in a house, this still pertains to you. Your upstairs neighbors, your next door neighbors, etc. I hope you become friends with them. Why?

Because it will become a huge part of your college experience and the memories you make/share. I live in a house with two of my best friends and teammates. Across the street from us is a house full of football guys. One day we yelled something out the window at them, and since then we've been best friends, or even family.

The thing is, when you become friends with your neighbors in college, you'll find yourself running to Walmart with them at 2 a.m. for cookie dough, or having game nights once a week.

You'll find yourself running across the street for a can opener and walking right inside like you live there. You'll find yourself working on homework in your living room when one of them comes over to share a funny story with you. You'll find yourself calling them when a gecko ends up in your sink, or a bird ends up in the house and in return, you'll find yourself making them dinner.

Without ever saying so, you will become like brothers and sisters. You'll make fun of each other, irritate each other, look out for each other, and confide in each other. You'll drag each other onto random, spontaneous adventures when you get bored, or you'll get together groups of people to play basketball and kickball with. You'll try to pull an all-nighter which consists of delirious laughter and you'll end up crashing at 4 a.m. You'll support them in their sport or hobbies cause they do the same for you.

Basically - if you don't become best friends with your neighbors in college, you'll be missing out. Thanks 811 for all the laughter, mess ups, game nights and memories. Wouldn't trade them for the world.

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.
