B is for Big Apple.

The nickname for the greatest city in the world, NYC.

C is for Coney Island.

Located in Brooklyn, Coney Island, is a fantastic place to hit on your summer adventures. What is better than a carnival and the beach?

The building that is the tallest in all of the city and outshines the rest.

This upstate New York town has one of the SUNY liberal arts schools, SUNY Fredonia.

This wealthy area has some of the most expensive and extravagant homes in the country.

Located in Midtown, the heart of Manhattan.

L is for Long Island.

You know you're from Long Island when you think Long Island should be its own state.

Once you've had a slice of New York pizza, your tastebuds are changed forever.

The yellow taxi is the easy way to get around NYC.

U is for Union Square.

The chillest park in all of NYC.

W is for Westchester County.

The best county in the country! Resides outside of NYC.

I am particularly not very fond of the Yankees, but I would say eight out of ten New Yorkers probably are.

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.

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.
