Dear Netflix Bingers,

It's me, the girl you can't stand. You know the one who also is a self-proclaimed binger but isn't anywhere close to the level the rest of you are on. Sure, we both started that show at the same time six months ago and I'm only just hitting season two while you are 14 seasons deep and are now watching the current up to date episodes every Thursday night at 8 p.m. while I hide under a rock avoiding social media for spoilers at all costs.

Yes, you definitely hate me. I say I'm a die hard fan of the show, same as you, and hey I am! But, I definitely pace myself. Or, you know am just slow as hell. You know sometimes I binge a few episodes in a night... sometimes I spend a whole rainy day watching hour episode after episode but then I step away.

Sometimes for a week other sometimes a few months. I have valid excuses like work, and school and a social life.. mostly though, I am just easily distracted. You can't fault me for not having the attention span to stay glued to the t.v. for more than a few days at a time! But, you do and I get it.

Just so you know though, sometimes I binge two seasons of a show just to binge four seasons of a different one and find myself going back and forth between four shows at once, perpetually never making any real progress towards finishing one show. I know I'm irritating and trust me, I'd like to step my game up but hey, I'm easily distracted and clearly multitasking is not my forte. Please don't strip me of my binging title or spoil episodes I may never reach.

Sincerely,

The Worst Binger There Ever Was

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.
