The Kissing Booth vs. To All The Boys I've Loved Before. This has become the great debate of Instagram and Twitter. I've watched both of these movies multiple times in dealing with all of my emotions this summer. I laughed, my stomach did some somersaults, and I think I even cried at one point.

I watched The Kissing Booth after seeing clips of it all over Instagram. It was cute, and it was bad, but it was good at the same time. Elle and Noah were comically cute. Jacob Elordi (Noah) is a foot taller than Joey King (Elle) and it's adorable. They are also dating in real life that increases the cute factor by ten!

I first watched The Kissing Booth before my breakup, and I was thinking how this kind of relationship isn't really realistic. I watched it again post-breakup, and I still felt that way. But it made me feel a little better for the 2 hours that I was watching it.

To All The Boys I've Loved Before is so sweet and so realistically portrayed, in my opinion. Whereas Elle and Noah were cute, it just didn't feel the most real relationship. Peter and Lara Jean were fake to start and then grew to have genuine feelings. I watched this movie after my breakup. And I was kind of disconnected from it all. But it was really, really cute. Lara Jean feels really realistic to me, as does Peter because he isn't perfect but is always trying.

To sum it up, I don't really think we need to put these movies against each other. I think they both serve a purpose. The Kissing Booth is unrealistic but adorable. To All The Boys I've Loved Before is realistic and nice and heartwarming. I like them both. I don't know how helpful they are to deal with breakups but that's okay. I need a little silliness sometimes.

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.
