Fall is sneaking up on us again. Which means new professors.

And with new professors come a new set of rules and learning which professors to keep and which to drop. Almost every professor says the same exact thing at one point.

I know that I've heard them all, so here all the all the quotes that almost every professor will say during the first week of classes.

1. Welcome to the first day of class, now lets jump into the first lecture.

This is single handily the worst quote that can come out of a professor's mouth. Insert unanimous groan from the class.

2. Any question that you have can be answered on the syllabus

You'll see this in email form and here it every time someone asks any questions

3. You have a test at the end of the week

As soon as you hear this, you know that you're in for a long semester.

4. If I see your phone, I'll take it

I'm not 100% sure if this is actually legal, but it happens more than you'd imagine.

5. You don't have to come to class but, there is an attendance grade

You get so exited when you hear the first half that you almost miss the second half of the sentence.

6. If everyone gets an A than I'm not doing my job

I never understand why professors say this, but it makes half the class leave thats for sure.

7. The person to your left or right will drop this class by midterms

Every STEM professor at least twice a semester.

8. Your lowest test score will be dropped

This is the best sentence in whole world

9. The only grades for this class are one paper and one test

You've already started looking for other classes before you're even out of this one

10. Technology isn't really my strength

I'm not really sure how this one happens, but theres always one.

11. Anyone know how to work this screen, I lost the controller

This same question will be asked at least once a week for the rest of the semester

12. I live an hour away so there is no reason that I should beat you to class

You'll still walk in late everyday.

13. All your grades will be imputed at the end of the semester

This is the worst because you actually have to wait until last minute to know if pass or fail.

14. You can only ask questions during office hours

No one actually goes to office hours, so you just go through the whole semester with unanswered questions.

15. If you bring me coffee, your grade may get bumped up

Theres always one professor who is not against bribery.

16. There is no extra credit in this class

Extra credit makes the world go round, so why is there always professors that say no extra credit.

17. Let's make this the best semester yet.

This could either be a great thing or the worst thing. There is no in between.

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.
