What do you get when you combine ‘Magnolia’ and ‘Magnificent’ — ‘Magnoficent. Fixer Upper turns dreadful into delectable; if you're anything like the rest of us, you've not only heard of the show, but you have probably developed a slight, major obsession. You know the line: “We take the worst house in the best neighborhood and turn it into our clients’ dream home.” From an overwhelming passion for shiplap to a desire to knock down every wall you see, here are symptoms of a "Fixer Upper" addict:

1. You want a sliding barn door in every room of your future house.

Who would have thought that a sliding farm door would look so great in a bedroom, or even in a kitchen? Thank you Joanna for making me want a barn door in every room.

2. You are overly passionate about open floor plans.

>Walls are public enemy number one.

3. One word: Shiplap.

SHIPLAP, SHIPLAP, SHIPLAP!!! I'll take it in every room, please and thank you. A renovation isn’t complete without some shiplap y'all.

4. You've tried designing everything in your house or dorm to look like something Jo would do.

Every time you watch a new episode, you're inspired to change everything. This probably annoys your roommates and your family, but you don't care because it's just your thing. You make endless designs and plans to redo your home. After making these plans, you realize that you actually have no idea what you are doing and currently have no money so you stick with daydreaming for now. Probably just gonna paint everything white.

5. Visiting the Magnolia store is on your bucket list.

Mom and dad???? Please????

6. Chip jumping through a wall to knock it down on demo day no longer surprises you.

Something about tearing down walls and breaking things with a sledgehammer is just good for the soul.

7. You know that popcorn ceilings have to go. They just have to.

Popcorn ceilings are soooooo 1930's.

8. You want to move to Waco, Texas way too bad.

1,079.7 miles doesn't sound too bad when Chip and Jo could design me a dream house.

9. You live for re-runs on HGTV.

Yep. Thats all.

10. Some more words: French doors, farmhouse sink, reclaimed wood, and subway tile.

You get the picture. All the pieces to the Fixer Upper puzzle. Thank you for introducing these to us, Joanna. How else would we sound classy and sophisticated when discussing home interiors?

Go forth with your love of exposed brick and wrapped beams, and make Chip and Jojo proud.

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.
