1. Helping others can make new connections with people

You might meet people that will make a positive impact on your life


2. Chances are when you've helped someone out they'll probably show up when you need help

It's the golden rule, right? "Give unto others what you would have them give unto you."


3. You might find something new for you enjoy when you help other people with new things

What if someone asks for your help cooking dinner and you realize you're a great chef? Congrats, you have a new passion.


4. When you give you're more likely to be grateful

Giving to others puts you in the right mindset to appreciate what you already have.


5. You should help other people out purely because you're a person and they're a person

Don't be this guy. If for no other reason, you should do it just because we're all human people.


6. The feeling you get when you've helped someone out

Your heart will be so full.


7. Seeing someone's smile after you've helped them out is always nice

Maybe this isn't as pleasant for everyone, but smiles are basically my favorite thing in the world.


8. Giving is very contagious

If someone sees you help the people in your life then they'll be more likely to help the people around them.


9. You should always try to make other people's lives easier

Even if it means giving up time that you could be using for something else.


10. You'll never fully know what they're going through, so you should do your best to help

Your help may be just what they need to make it through the day.

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.
