Being an education major is stressful, but beautiful. Finally getting to see how to work a classroom or how to make an impact in a student's life, makes life amazing. Coming home and telling people around you that you are going into education? Not so amazing. Most people don't see education as important or worth the four years or college. Us, education majors, see things so differently. We see the world as an opportunity to educate, to teach, to be a role model, and so many more things. So here are a couple things that we are sick of hearing:

1. "You won't make any money."

Why should I base my happiness off of money? If I am happy, then that is all that matters.

2. "What about the bad students?"

All students have different needs. Some more than others, but teachers are the ones that help guide to better life choices and to make students see their potential.

3. "You won't be happy."

I have heard this over, and over again. Other people should not drag you down or have someone else determine your happiness.

4. " You're going through four years of college to not even be able to pay your loans back."

This goes back to making money. I hear this one more than anything, and I hate it the most. I will be able to take care of myself, and my loans.

I don't want this article to see all negative. Teachers are wonderful, and being able to go through with an education major shows so much strength.

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.
