Halloween is over, but the scariest part of the year still has yet to come: finals week. Finals week is five days of exams with multiple days of stress leading up to the tests. Even thinking about this upcoming week of hell makes me feel like I could break out in hives. Finals are the bane of all college students’ existences.

To express how torturous finals can be, here are 50 awful things I’d rather do than think about final exams:

1. Eat a jar of mayonnaise

2. Only listen to Kidz Bop music

3. Accidentally send the screenshots of messages to the person who initially sent them

4. Be stuck in a Chinese Finger Trap with my least favorite person for two weeks

5. Get stuck in an elevator with all of my exes at once

6. Play soccer with a bee's nest

7. Have my best friend pull out my wisdom teeth by hand

8. Stub both pinky toes at the same time

9. Eat off the bathroom floor

10. Work retail all night every Black Friday for the rest of my life

11. Lick the seat of a roller coaster

12. Pull my eyelashes out one by one

13. Get a tattoo on my face before an important interview

14. Accidentally like a photo from 3 years ago every time I creep on a random person's Instagram

15. Wear Crocs to every formal event

16. Sleep in a gas station bathroom

17. Be in charge of watching 15 toddlers at a park without a fence

18. Flirt only by telling "knock-knock" jokes

19. Sit next to a crying baby on every plane I ride

20. Always get the wrong meal when going through the drive-thru

21. Eat a pack of cigarettes

22. Sponge bathe a creepy old man

23. Confuse poison ivy for lettuce

24. Explain explicit song lyrics to the elderly

25. Have gas station sushi served at my wedding

26. Only be allowed to go to the bathroom in Port-O-Potties

27. Be only allowed to eat while watching 'My Strange Addiction'

28. Walk 100 miles in nothing but high heels

29. Go to the movie theater just to find out I am seeing a movie of my most embarrassing middle school moments

30. Wear Aeropostale t-shirts for the rest of my life

31. Announce every time before a bodily function occurs

32. Drink orange juice after brushing my teeth each morning

33. Be addicted to FarmVille

34. Walk around in wet socks

35. Use Icy Hot instead of lotion

36. Fistfight my favorite high school teacher

37. Clean a frat house bathroom

38. Name my first child "Banana"

39. Pierce my own tongue

40. Find out halfway through a ride that the person driving isn't an Uber driver

41. Pack then unpack all of my belongings

42. Wash a garbage truck by hand

43. Write a 10-page essay on the history of apple pie

44. Have my foot run over by a steamroller

45. Chew gum from underneath a table

46. Clean hair out of a stranger's drain

47. Get a toenail in my food every time I go to a restaurant

48. Finish a 5000-piece puzzle just to realize the last piece is missing

49. Parallel park a school bus in between two expensive cars

50. Think of a list of horrible things that I hope never happen to me

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.
