Barnes & Noble, it’s a beautiful place for book lovers. There are all sorts of books to choose from: fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, history, politics, and some of the most bazaar genres you could think of, plus combinations you wouldn’t believe. There’s just a wonderful feeling inside of you when you pick up a book, especially one that you’ve been wanting to read forever. Books take you away to magical and wonderful places, Hogwarts, District 12, beyond the wall, and many other places that have a place in our hearts. For a book lover, there is no such thing as too many books, and no one can tell them otherwise.

There are so many thoughts that go through my head when I walk into Barnes & Noble; sometimes I go there just because of its peaceful atmosphere and I feel at home. Even when I plan on not buying a book, I end up heading home with a bag in my hand, and whether I’m at school or home, someone tends to ask me, “Did you really need another book?”

My reply to my mother is, “Well, it could be drugs.”

Here are the thoughts I have while at Barnes and Noble.

“Okay, don’t buy any books, if any, just one.”

“Oh! Best sellers, do I have any of these on my wish list?”

“So-and-so came out with a new book?”

“Don’t go to the YA section, don’t go to the YA section…”

-Walks over to the YA section-

“Why is James Dashner’s new novel $18.00?!”

“Hardcovers are beautiful.” –Strokes book-

“So if this book is $10.99, and I get a 10% off, that means it’ll be… Damn I suck at math.”

“Why am I here?”

“RED QUEEN IS IN PAPER BACK?!”

“I should definitely not pre-order the Fantastic Beasts screenplay, buuuut….”

“When did I get three books in my hands?”

“Buy 2 get 1 free?!”

“Walk away, walk away…”

-Leaves store with more than one book like they promised themselves... and a Starbucks.-

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.
