And Christmas Fall.

Christmas Fall is the most frustrating of all, when you want to wear your jolly Christmas sweaters, but are forced to wear shorts and t-shirts instead.

While these strange weather patterns can be frustrating, they can also provide some unique out-of-season activities. For example, you can start sunbathing in February.

There are plenty of downsides to living in Southern weather, though. Maybe the worst of all is the constant need to keep shaving your legs, while women in other parts of the country get to take a break during Winter.

Full summer also takes an intense toll in the South. The deadly combination of heat and humidity is not for the faint of heart.

Residents of the South get to play Myth-Busters during the summer. Eggs really can boil on your sidewalk.

But, the heat comes with its perks. Nothing feels more fancy and luxurious than paper fans supplied for outdoor events in the Summer.

The south is a strange amalgam of weather patterns.

We can switch between hurricanes and tornadoes within a week.

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.
