When you're the last single friend in the friend group.

The Quarter Life Crisis is Real and We Can Feel It Too

It's 2019 and it feels like time is passing by so quick, we have to press pause sometimes. The friends you've known since middle school are getting married and having kids before you guys graduate college. Your weekend calendar is now filled with engagement parties, wedding weekend events, baby showers. Your the aunt of your "Framily" and you're cool with it. But you can't help yourself but ask this question in your head. What am I doing wrong? Why am I still single? Do I still have time?

It's crazy to ask this at the beginning of your twenties, the time where you're suppose to be living your best life. But now we're thinking about when we're going to give our parents some grandkids. We have our degrees and we got our apartments in the city but we want more for ourselves. Personally, I didn't have these thoughts until this year where my friends from college are getting married and I'm the bridesmaid that wants to set me up with the best man. My friends who are in relationships are now the ones giving me advice of why I'm single and what I need to do to get a man.

This is to all my ladies out there who have been the firth wheel on group dates or spent Friday nights in bed with your Cookout and Netflix. It's okay to be on your own. we don't have to settle for the rest of the world. This is the time of your life and being on your own for a while is dope. Go have your adventures, try new places, go take yourself out on a date. When the right guy or girl comes around, it'll happen naturally.

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.
