5 Pros And Cons Of Living In Houston
Karishma Dawood

Houston is one of the best cities in the world, we all know it. There are upsides and downsides to living in Houston and it doesn't every really change. Here's a list of the pros and cons of living in Houston...

1. Pro - The amount of restaurants and amazing food here is ridiculous.

Sometimes we get "bored" but that's because we don't venture out enough. I personally love trying new food but when the time comes to go try new restaurants, I just go running back to the ones I know and love.

2. Con - The weather here isn't the best.

It doesn't get cold in the winter, fall and spring are there but not enough to declare them seasons in this city, and summer is boiling hot. You can probably cook an egg on the street in the middle of July if you tried. If it rains once, you know it's going to rain for days and there will be no end to it. When it's sunny, the sun is beating down so hard it burns you in a matter of minutes. The best part (not literally) is the humidity. Houston and humidity were made to go together without humidity, there's no Houston.

3. Pro - Houston is known for it's culture.

The art around town is breathtakingly beautiful as it varies from graffiti walls to Houston pride to crazy sculptures. You will never be bored driving around Downtown Houston as there's always something new to see! The music in Houston is forever growing and the number of celebrities that are from Houston is amazing. Tom Ford, Beyonce, Hilary Duff, Wes Anderson, and Travis Scott are just a few of the most famous ones.

4. Con - Houston traffic is absolute madness.

If you get stuck during rush hour, don't expect to be home for at least an hour and a half. Also, if you didn't already have a headache then you sure will by the time you get home!

5. Pro - There's always something to do in Houston.

If you're bored you can go bowling, go to a park, drive around downtown, try new coffee shops. Sometimes it feels like there's nothing to do but there's more than enough it just takes a little driving and some time!

As you can see, there are more pros than cons, which definitely goes to show that Houston is a wonderful city. It just seems boring to the people who have lived here their entire lives but overall it's great and I couldn't imagine living anywhere else!

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.
