Here Is What I've Learned After 3 Months In College

Let's be real-- we are all suffering!

Okay, so obviously the transition to leave home and go to college was a very tough thing. I was so nervous about my first impression on people. However, it wasn't at all at how I imagined. Everyone is suffering just like me!

There is absolutely nothing to worry about.

Literally, no one cares about anything. Did you trip and fall? No one cares!

You walked into the wrong class? No one cares!

Going to class in an oversized sweater and sweatpants? No one cares!

Did you drop your food on the floor? Well, some people might care. Food is food. We all feel bad when that happens.

Everyone is here for the same reason as you. We all come to study and get our degree and leave. We all share the same frustration and pain when it comes to classes. If you cry in the middle of the library some random people might cry with you. Some people might just be like "same" because we all UNDERSTAND THE PAIN.

You didn't do the homework? I bet most of the class didn't either.

Fall asleep in class? Most of us do. Pretty sure most of us only go for attendance.

You have just got to live life and enjoy your time there. Meet new people! Go to parties! Have fun!

But also do your work. Go to your professors' office hours. Try your best. Help each other out because at the end of the day we all just want to graduate and get a job and maybe not have to cry about 10 minutes.

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.
