I am required by Longwood University to take a physical education class.

I decided to take Phed this semester because it fit my schedule. After asking people what they truly thought about the class, they all told me it was a ridiculous class they hated taking. After the first week, I saw how much online work there was and was not happy about that. As a student who hates online work, I started to hate the class every time I had to do work for it. It got to the point that I stopped caring so much about my grade, and focused more on my other classes.

It got so bad that I did not even get 10,000 steps in every day like I was supposed to. After I saw my grade slipping a bit, I paid more attention to the class. It was not until two weeks before spring break when I started too actually like the class, and see why it was an important class to take.

I started to change my habits and started going to the gym more each week. By going to the gym, I started to double the number of steps I needed, which made me feel great!

I realized that after going to the gym every day, it helped me stay more focused on my school work. By having to use a fitness pedometer, I actually liked seeing how many steps I took every day. If it was not for my phed class, I would have not gone to the gym as much as I did. I would have probably not been focusing as well as I did by working out and eliminating any stress that I had.

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.
