It's no secret that "Pokémon Go" has been taking the world by storm. By now, it's racked up nearly 21 million daily users. Rather, the bigger surprise may be the unexpected age group of that statistic: college-aged, 18- to 22-year-olds. Maybe it's just because we love the nostalgia behind it all, but I like to think it's because Pokémon are pretty similar to the people we surround ourselves with on a daily basis at college.

1. Lickitung is the person who loves to photobomb every picture at a party.

2. Bulbasaur tells you all about sustainability and gives out reusable containers to encourage recycling.

3. Eevee is the "basic bitch" who takes a picture of her textbook and Starbucks cup, captioning it on Instagram as #finals.

4. Cubone is that kid who still thinks blink-182 and Sum 41 are considered punk.

5. Slowpoke is that person who always shows up 20 minutes late to class - and it's the wrong one.

6. Oddish is the person who smoked once in high school yet still owns weed-patterned socks.

7. Gloom experiments with hard drugs. A lot of them.

8. Vileplume is always happy and smiling, most likely because they're on a never-ending trip.

9. Chansey is the mom of the friend group who only slightly judges you for your stupid weekend mistakes.

10. Exeggcute can't go anywhere without their squad of friends.

11. Mr. Mime is that kid who's oddly obsessed with "Hamilton" and belongs to an acapella group or the theater company.

12. Jynx proudly does the walk of shame every Saturday morning.

13. Butterfree advocates equality in the workplace, hates gender norms and uses hashtags on Twitter to let everyone know they #FeelTheBern.

14. Krabby is the person rumored to have STD's.

15. Jigglypuff always has his guitar out but only knows how to play "Wonderwall."

16. Snorlax gained the Freshman 15 the first month of school, but embraces it and reminds you that "dad bods are in."

17. Ninetales is the girl who shows up to class with a full face of make-up, her hair perfectly straightened and her life seemingly together.

18. Meanwhile, Nidoran♀ shows up to class in sweatpants and probably hasn't slept in a week.

19. Geodude is the guy with too much testosterone when he's drunk.

20. Dragonite says hello to you every time you pass them on campus, but you've never had a conversation with them and you're pretty sure they don't even know your name.

21. Blastoise is president of his fraternity and just wants to get drunk with his newest pledge, Squirtle.


22. Psyduck posts in the class Facebook group to see if anyone has the syllabus, understands the assignment, or knows when it's due.

23. Hitmonchan is the well-rounded athlete focused on balancing their sport and their 3.71 GPA.

24. Pikachu is the name on campus that everyone knows, whether it's for good or bad.

25. Drowzee gets to class early just to make sure he can get a seat in the back so he can watch Netflix on his laptop.

26. Machamp peaked in high school.

27. And Lapras sinks the last cup in beer pong every time - and makes sure you never forget it.

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.
