It's not for everyone, but I sure do enjoy it.

Why I Love Reality TV

Right now, reality TV has become a big thing with shows like "The Bachelor" and "Big Brother," "Real Housewives," and "Survivor." I'm not super sure why they have become so popular, but I know for me it's because they are so dramatic and entertaining. It's so hard for me to turn it off. Just the fact that when I watch it their lives are so dramatic, real or fake, that makes me feel glad I don't have that much drama in my life.

Even though they are so popular, there is shame and judging that comes with them. I know for me when I tell someone that I love shows like this, they say "why would you love to watch something like this" or "how do you watch this." It's like they think that I should feel ashamed for watching it. They can be stupid and even look fake, but I still love them even though I don't know why.

Drama is entertaining, which is kind of odd but there is even a whole genre created for it. As long as it's not my own drama, then I find it very entertaining. Watching the show unfold brings a sense of suspension, and even makes me feel better that I can have friends and still not have this much drama.

There is a common theme to shows like this, though. They either have to be rude, crazy, or stupid. I honestly can't watch reality TV without laughing my head off, but there are also times when the emotional scenes on the show make me cry. You honestly get invested in the lives of these people you have never met. I have even considered taking a trip to a restaurant to see the owner that I have seen on reality TV.

I really think that it's a way to live vicariously through these stars' lives. We are mind blown at the money they spend or what they put themselves through, or even the trips they take. Like you actually haven't vacationed until you vacation like the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. People on these shows have advantages that most people don't have.

Reality shows are known for their over-the-top drama. A lot of people think that they are scripted and that there is no way that any of them can be real. If that's true, I don't care - I still love them and probably always will. I am not afraid to tell anyone that I love them and neither should you be!

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.
