Most of us grew up watching "High School Musical." We were enamored by the cheesy dialogue (and even cheesier songs) that spoke to our younger selves. There is a reason that "High School Musical" recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary with a televised special on Disney Channel; when it aired in 2006, it left an impact that still resonates today. The music of all three films in the franchise, specifically, is still relevant, even though its been 10 years since the first movie aired. In fact, there may never be a performance as iconic as Zac Efron's "Bet On It." At the beginning of a new semester of college, we can relate the music of "High School Musical" to our own lives.

1. Breaking Free


When you are soarin', flying on Syllabus Day before the work actually starts.

2. Bet On It

When everyone says the class you just signed up for is impossible to get a good grade in.

3. I Gotta Go My Own Way


When you tell a professor you have to drop his or her class.

4. Get'cha Head in the Game

When you realize that break is actually over, and you actually have to study.

5. Scream

When you, like Troy Bolton, feel the need to scream because you are so busy with work and extracurriculars.

6. I Don't Dance

When you're at a party sober.

7. What Time is It?

Time to take a nap.

8. Work This Out

When you and all your friends have conflicting schedules, and you are trying to make plans in between classes, athletics and clubs.

9. I Want it All

Good grades, a social life and sleep.

10. Start of Something New

Just remember: it's a new semester and anything is possible.

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.
