We've all seen it, most of us have been there, and most of us fit in these categories...

People You See on Campus: WVU Edition

You can point these people out no matter where you may be on campus, and if you can't….. you probably are that person. 

Walking around WVU's campuses, a couple things stand out. If you're a people watcher like I am, you can point out the freshmen, the athletes and which sport they play, the greek population, the try hards and the "I'm hungover." 

1. Freshman. The easiest way to point out the freshmen are the "Freshman t-shirts" that everyone gets at orientation, lanyards, girls dressing up for their 8:30 class, crop tops and low-rise jeans, awkwardly sitting alone in class/lair or awkwardly looking for someone in class/lair you know, and their high school sporting teams. 

2. "Typical White Girls." We all know this girl, even if we are "this girl." The girls walking around with a Starbucks in hand, Vera Bradley backpack, monogrammed anything, rain boots in the smallest amount of rain, umbrella, the yoga pants EVERYDAY, Uggs, high-wasted shorts, name-brand bags, selfies, being obnoxious and "I can't even."

3. Frat Boys. Colored shorts, Chubbies, Sperry Top Sider's, Vineyard Vines, Polo T-shirts, their letters, Croakies, Ray-bans, "Fratagonia," Southern Tide and L.L. Bean boots.

4. Sorority Girls. Lilly tumblers or anything Lilly, Jack Rogers, LongChamps, running shorts with spirit jerseys, Sperry Top Sider's, oversized shirts, accessories on accessories, frat t-shirts/tanks, Vineyard Vines, sporting letters 24/7, sundresses, monogrammed anything and everything, Chacos, Tory Burch, Kate Spade, Hunter boots, J. Crew, Patagonia and L.L. Bean Boots. 

5. Athletes. The same WVU backpack every athlete gets, WVU sweatpants or any other article of clothing, travels in packs, sits in packs, never veers from their packs and Nike everything. 

6. The "I'm hungover." Make-up leftover from the night before, hair in a pony or leftover curls, oversized t-shirt or hoodie, sweatpants/leggings/running shorts, the guy's clothing, drinking 100 things of water, glasses, hand-over-mouth refusing food and possibly what you slept in. 

7. The guy who works out too much. Comes to class in a cut off, or a t-shirt that is too tight on his arms, legs normally are disproportional to his upper half, sticks his chest out and carries a gallon jug of water or protein shake to class.

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.

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.
