Nothing Like The Fall In Maryland

Some say fall is their favorite time of the year. With the leaves slowly changing colors, and the weather slowly transitioning to sweatshirt or sweater weather. The time of the year where you can put the shorts away for good, and finally break out the jeans and sweaters.

It's the perfect time of the year, Where you don't have to worry about being too hot or too cold. It's the weather you can wear a sweatshirt and jeans, and be just fine.
While Fall is my favorite season, in the great state of Maryland, it seems as if the entire season of fall occurred over the course of 2 weeks.

It seems like only last week it was 90 degrees and boiling hot. I couldn't walk to class without not sweating. I wast trying to figure out if the air conditioning would be too cold in the buildings, and that was my biggest challenge. At least, weather wise, it was.

Now I wake up in the morning and I check my weather app and it says 40 degrees, and part of my mind is telling me to wear a coat, rather than just a sweatshirt. Where did our transition go? I feel like this weather change my have happened overnight.

Now, I may be from bitter cold New England, but going from 90 degrees one day to 45 in the morning two days later is quite a drastic change. Even a New Englander wouldn't be used to this weather change.

It may be the beginning of a stereotypical fall here. With the leaves are starting to change over this week, and I will enjoy every moment of it. From putting my hammock up in the middle of the quad and doing homework, to just enjoying my walks to and from class, I will love every moment. In the meantime, I'll be praying for the winter to fault and have it take it's sweet time getting here.

But knowing that in two weeks we will be heading into another drastic change in temperature is really killer.

But for now, I will watch the leaves change, and pray for some nice cool normal fall weather. And leave the jacket behind, at least for the next two weeks I will.

Happy Fall Maryland, Please stop raining.

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.
