An Open Letter To College Freshman
Giphy

Look at you! You have almost made it through your first semester of college! The first hurdle is almost here! Once you make it past this milestone the rest of college will just fly by! It feels like just yesterday I was a freshman moving in and I was terrified about being away from home and away from my family. Here I am now two years later and I am in my second year of college and I am happier than ever! You may be stressed now, but trust me it does get better and it is worth it! I may not seem like it now, it may seem better to just drop out and become a stripper or something, but that is NEVER the solution! Life always has to throw you a couple of curve balls to keep things interesting or it would be the same every day and that would get very boring.

Finals week as a freshman in college can seem like a lot, but you are not alone. The upperclassmen are just as stressed and just as freaked as you are! They are probably in a worse place then you because they have junior and senior seminar presentations to think about on top of tests for other classes they are taking! Never hesitate to ask for help if you need it, go see a tutor, go talk to the professor (that could always be the difference in your grade being a B or an A at the end of the semester), do whatever you can to get the good grade (within reason).

Now if you are one of those lucky freshman who are coming into college with some experience of college courses already you are ahead of the game! You would be amazing and help out your fellow classmates in the process of finals week and help them understand a good way of how to study or how to plan their schedules for that week or something. Anything that helps your fellow classmates and could possibly help you would be amazing!


GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ON FINALS IN THE UPCOMING WEEKS AND MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR!

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.
