FOX

Your early 20s are a weird time of life. College is about to end, or you've just finished, and now you're expected to be a full grown adult. The only problem is you still feel like a kid. Nobody understands this more than professional man child and "New Girl" character Nick Miller.

1. When you're asked what you have accomplished so far in life.

2. When anyone asks you what you plan on doing after graduating college.

3. When it gets too hard and you just need your best friend to be a kid with you.

4. Your ideal day off.

5. When an older relative asks if you're seeing anyone, because you're not getting any younger.

6. Drunchies are your favorite part of a night out.

7. Quoting rappers who just get life.

8. When a night out gets a little too weird.

9. When another person from high school announces an engagement on Facebook, and the closest thing you have to a committed relationship is the guy who delivers your pizza on the weekends.

10. You've literally given up on flirting.

11. You're a little too addicted to your phone.

12. You have found infinite ways to entertain yourself.

13. You start to appreciate the little things in life.

14. You can't really describe where you are in life, but you know it's where you're supposed to be.

15. Your internal monologue at the end of every day.

16. But at the end of the day, you're still having the time of your life, because you can only be in your early 20s once.

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.
