Four students from the Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology in southern Indiana woke up early, donned warm clothes, and walked over a mile in the rain to a place called the Monte Cassino Shrine. Prayers at this place are believed to have miraculously stopped the spread of smallpox when the area was nearly overtaken by the epidemic in the 1870s. Every January, students process from the seminary to the shrine in thanksgiving for their miracle. That tradition endures, despite freezing rain and the cold of winter. Read an in-depth article on the shrine here.

The shrine is currently undergoing renovation and restoration to preserve it for future generations. Find out more and support the project at www.saintmeinrad.org/shrine

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.

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.
