When I was working at Shoppers' World, there was a song that I kept bopping my head to and this song had become one of my favorite songs. And that song was Fifth Harmony's "That's my Girl." Even though the song may sound noisy the first time you hear it because of its loud horns, but there was more to the song than I thought there was. This song tells women to become independent and you shouldn't let anyone, not even your "boo," to put you in low spirits.

Yes, breakups can be a sad experience but breakups shouldn't tell you that it's the end of the world. In fact, women should see this as a new start in their life. And this is what song is trying to reflect. Fifth Harmony's "That's my Girl" encourages women to get up on their feet after facing some heartbreak.

Fifth Harmony wants to remind women that they are strong enough to overcome their sadness and move on. At the same time, Fifth Harmony tells women that they should get independent and keep moving forward. Throughout the chorus of the song and towards the end, Fifth Harmony sings out "That's my girl... That's my girl..." to the listener. Usually, this expression is used when someone is proud of what has been accomplished by their daughter or less often, by their one's girlfriend. And most of the time, women get happy when someone says this, am I right? Pretty much, Fifth Harmony takes this expression in their song in order to express their pride and praise to all the women in the world.

It's cool enough that such a song exists because women deserve some love and appreciation. Thanks to this empowering song, women are able to see their self-worth and work harder than ever before.

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.
