5 Of My Favorite Shops in Hamilton, New Zealand

It was a small town but sometimes the smallest things have the greatest impact.

Hamilton is not a huge city, it quiet and near the countryside. I loved it because the quaint atmosphere made studying relaxed, easy to breathe, and gave me the freedom to be who I am in these places.

Here's 5 of my favorite places to be in Hamilton:

Dumpling House

I LOVE THEIR DUMPLINGS AND BUBBLE TEA. They give such huge servings and very quick service. The food is delicious, and my friends and I intend to eat there once I get a chance to go back!

Iguana Restaurant

They have specials from Monday to Friday and each day is different! Tuesday 30% off any dessert is so worth the bus trip into town! Try every dessert and I promise you will not be disappointed.

Nightlife – The Hood

I highly recommend The Hood for a night out at least once. In my opinion, they play more a variety of hip hop, rap, RnB, from throwbacks to now. If you need a night to just dance with your friends. This is for you, especially since the other clubs are within walking distance of each other (less than 5 minutes).

CottonOn

An Australian chain store but they have great sales and comfortable cute clothes for guys and girls! Anytime I needed a piece to bring my outfit together, I went to CottonOn. The clothes have nice quality and relaxed styles for most casual occasions.

Super Liquor

This was where everyone got their discounted drinks to sip with friends in their rooms or where first years blew all their money during orientation week because they're drunk on freedom away from home.

Remember to bring your reusable bags for shopping! If not, be prepared to carry what you buy or spend more money to buy another bag in the stores.

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.
