Back to college season has begun. Heading back to classes after 3 months off can be a challenge, but there are some positives to getting back to school. Luckily, Sponge-bob is here to explain the difficulties, happy times, and journeys of syllabus week.

1. When you already bought the textbook and then the professor says you won't need it.


2. When the professors say students do not get special treatment when turning in assignments.


3. When your friends are in the same class as you.


4. When the professor warns you of a huge project you'll be responsible for this semester.


5. When the professor expects you to have already read the first few chapters of the book.


6. When you find out all of the exams will be open book.


7. "This will not be a class you can study for the night before".


8. "Let's all go around the room and say our major and a random fact about ourselves".


9. When the professor keeps you the entire time on the first day of class.

10. Or opposite: when the professor talks for five minutes and then says that's all for the first day.


11. When you ask the professor if you will actually use the textbook this semester and he says "yes of course."


12. And finally, that small glimpse of hope you have just before you walk back into the school once again to start a fresh semester of hell.

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.
