I recently returned to one of my favorite cities... good ole' Nashville, Tennessee. I absolutely love this city; from the never-ending live country music, to the various southern comfort foods, it's an experience unlike any other. If you find yourself in the city anytime soon, here are a few things I would highly recommend checking out:

1. Biscuit Love

This was the very first stop my boyfriend and I made after landing in Nashville. DO NOT BE SCARED AWAY BY THE LINE! It moves very fast; they have to keep the line outside of the door due to fire hazards. Therefore, it always appears to be a much longer wait than it actually is.

We ordered the "East Nasty" which was fried chicken with sausage gravy on a fresh biscuit. I also ordered a caramel latte and not going to lie, it was one of the best coffees I have ever tried... and I am pretty particular (plus I loved the pumpkin in the foam, too cute!).

The restaurant was very trendy and an amazing experience with delicious food!

2. Broadway

We found our way down Broadway three separate times throughout our weekend in Nashville. The first day we walked through the shops, settled down in one of the bars and experienced really good live music. The nice thing about Nashville is if you don't like the music you're hearing- just keep walking and you will encounter various other country musicians.

I am a huge music fan; I grew up singing/performing so I have a large appreciation for live music. We ended up checking out several different bars by the end of our trip and got tasty drinks and food at each. Our favorite was the new Florida Georgia Line bar- definitely check it out!

We went to the predators game Saturday night which was super wild; the fans in Nashville are for sure something else, which made it all the more exciting. We then returned to Bridgestone Arena on Sunday to see The Weeknd who put on a phenomenal concert.

It was nice that we got to hang out downtown beforehand and simply walk over to the arena when it was time for each event. It is super convenient that the stadium is located in the center of downtown.

So make sure to set a night aside to make your way down Broadway- you won't (or maybe you will) regret it!

3. The Gulch

We were told by several friends that this was a very interesting area with lots of cool shops and good restaurants. Of course we took a pic at the classic "#WhatLiftsYou" mural at 302 11th Ave S. It was surprisingly not that busy and it's absolutely beautiful in person. Glad we snagged this picture as it was my birthday and I wanted something cute to post together. This is also where Biscuit Love was located and several other cool restaurants.

Make sure you are prepared to shop for some bigger pants after eating your heart out at the plethora of delectable restaurants in the Gulch!

4. East Nashville

We checked out East Nashville by total accident. I woke up hungry as a hippo and looked up good brunch areas near our Airbnb. I found The Frothy Monkey, which was another delicious breakfast place.

They had a diverse menu and a large bar for coffee and teas. The wait was similar to Biscuit Love but wasn't unbearable. The area was very young, a lot of trendy college/grad students which I personally liked.

We continued to walk around and found the "I Believe In Nashville" mural and had to get pics... duh! I really loved this area and we didn't even mean to find it! They had many cute areas to take pictures and various little shops.


Overall the city hosts many diverse events and areas to explore - I will be returning again no doubt. Do your research on what all the city offers compared to what you're interested in, and be prepared for lots of country music and good times!

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.
