Pros That Are Also Cons: College Edition.

Pros That Are Also Cons: College Edition.

1. You can skip class whenever you want.

*Your alarm goes off at 8:15.* "Hmm, I've only skipped 5 days so far, I'll be okay if I skip one more." This is completely false because in college going to class is half the work. Even if you are physically in class but mentally your head is pounding, it's okay, you can make it through.

2. Your parent(s) are't there to tell you what to do 24/7.


If you want to stay up until 2 a.m. binge-watching "Grey's Anatomy," you go right ahead because no one can stop you except yourself. But when ever your alarm sounds for your 8:00 AM you're probably going to wish your mom was there to yell at you the night before.

3. Your curfew knows no depths or limits.

Curfew in college, WHAT ARE THOSE? Unless your moral compass points to "be in bed by 9:00 every night," then you can rock out until the wee hours of the morning.

4. You can eat whenever, whatever, and how ever much you want.

If you want a 5 layer-cheesy-nacho-not sure if it's meat- loaded griller at 3:00 in the morning or even at 7:00 AM well by George you go get it. Your mom isn't going to pull the, "because I'm the mother, that's why," card.

5. You can get this mother crunk anytime you want, literally, anytime.

But by "crunk" I mean if you want to have a class of wine after a long day of class plus a two hour biology lab then you go for it. But if you also want to party like it's your 21st birthday on a Wednesday then by all means take a shot for me too.

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.
