We've all been there, just relaxing without a care in the world. There's a blissful sense of freedom to watch Netflix or read a book you've had on your shelf for months. It's all so beautiful to be commitment free and it happens. You realize you messed up some dates in your planner or just forgot that you even owned a planner. No matter how it happens, now you're stuck not knowing where the time went you're flying around trying to get every piece of homework you had neglected done before the due date!

1. It's a weekday evening, you're laying on the couch just snacking and surfing through Netflix when it happens: the sinking feeling that you've got something due.

2. You fly off the couch with mutant like speed to find your syllabus and see it in sickening black ink. In the next 48 hours, you have three papers, two exams and a group project due.

3. You start to curse your professor because HOW DARE THEY ASSIGN SO MUCH WORK?

Don't they know you have other classes and a social life? (Never mind the fact this was assigned a month ago).

4. Then, you set off to do what took others a month in one night.

Prepare the coffee and the tears!

5. Halfway through you're about ready to give up, drop out, and become a stripper.

Who needs a college degree?

6. You decide that you've done so much fantastic (subpar) work that you deserve a break.

7. Finally, as the sun rises your perfect example of procrastination is complete and ready to turn in.

You feel deliriously sleepy and insanely proud of yourself.

8. You promise yourself that you'll keep a better to do list and check your syllabus regularly.

You never want to have to pull an all-nighter like that again.

9. But then...that sinking feeling...again.

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.
