"The future we hold is so unclear" -Selena Gomez. Her song "The Heart Wants What It Wants" is a song that many people can relate to. It's about a breakup and how everyone around is trying to tell you to basically move on and let go. In the end, though, it's not what you want. The song literally explains a walk through a tough break up.


"Save your advice cause I won't hear
You might be right but I don't care"

The people who see you hurting are obviously going to tell you that you deserve better and need to let them go. If you deep down though know that person is what you want, you're most likely just going to disregard advice that is given.


"The bed's getting cold and you're not here"

Sleeping alone is the worst once you're so used to going to bed and waking up next to one specific person all the time. Get some extra pillows or stuff animals instead. They won't hurt you.


"There's a million reasons why I should give you up"

True, but no matter how much bad or wrong someone does you can't give them up fully if you love them. You may be able to no longer talk to them or see them, but you're always going to think of them and wonder "what if?"


"You got me scattered in pieces
Shining like stars and screaming
Lightning me up like Venus
But then you disappear and make me wait"

This part of the song has such a deep meaning but you really have to listen to it. This is one of the million reasons why to give them up, they break you. They'll lift you up and make you feel amazing, then turn around and destroy you.


"I'm not alive until you call"

Depending on them to make you fee good and happy isn't healthy. If they really wanted you, they wouldn't just call, they would be with you.


"This is a modern fairy tale
No happy endings"

It may feel like the end of the world, but it's not. Yes, a lot of relationships now don't really last, but that might just be because there's better out there.


"The heart wants what it wants"

Do what will make you happy and focus on yourself. Don't let people manipulate you or tell you how to be. Follow your heart and do what's best for you.

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.
