Oh, the agony.

This past Saturday, I waited outside of Kinnick Stadium for 6 hours with my buddies just to get a front row spot. I sure enough got a front row spot, and had one foot ready on the cement wall to rush the field with everyone once we pulled off the massive upset victory, until Penn State scored as time expired. Here, I will walk through my day at Kinnick, as told by South Park.

When my buddy came into my dorm at 10:30 AM telling me to get ready to go over to Kinnick 8 hours before kickoff:

When we get first in line at Kinnick gates and the security officer sees us just chilling outside of the gate 6 hours before we are allowed into the stadium:


When we still had over 3 hours to go before we could get into Kinnick Stadium and just wanted someone to let us in:

When people from US Cellular came over to me, my buddies, and everyone else waiting outside of the gate trying to get us to switch our cell phone plan with about over an hour to go until the gates open:


When it was 4:45, and the gates FINALLY opened:


The feeling when me and buddies got a front row seat between the five yard line and the end zone:


Me trying to watch all of the pre-game warmups up close, especially the offensive linemen (I played on the OL in high school, those warmups always intrigue me):


When the Opening Kickoff finally came:


Waving to the kids across the street in the children's hospital after the first quarter:


Throughout most of the first half, when neither the Hawkeyes or Nittany Lions can get anything done on offense:


When The Hawkeyes got the first touchdown late in the first half against the Nittany Lions:


The guy next to me who kept going on and on with the Penn State jokes about the previous sex accusations:


When Akrum Wadley scored what appeared to be the game-winning touchdown with under two minutes to go in the fourth quarter:


The Student Section atmosphere when Penn State got the ball back after we got the go-ahead touchdown and needed one more defensive stop:


When Penn State scores the game-winning touchdown with 0:00 left on the clock:


The sad walk back from Kinnick to my dorm room on the other side of campus:

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.
