Admit it, when you are in class, you are not always devoting 100% of your attention to the lesson. As much as we would all love to be on our "A game" every time we enter the classroom, it is almost impossible to do. No matter how much you love school or learning or your professor, you will pretty frequently find yourself focused on something else. Here are a few thoughts going through most students head whilst in class:

1. "47 more minutes and I can take a nap."

If you have never thought this during class then I applaud you. No matter how much sleep you got last night or how much energy you had before you got to class, but the second class starts, you are just about ready for a winter hibernation. Drink as many coffees and Red-bulls as you'd like, you are still going to be counting down the minutes till you can get back to bed.

2. "I wonder whats for lunch today?"

Food has the ability to make or break your day. A good lunch is going to set you up for success. But, if you get to the cafeteria and they don't have anything you like, your day is practically ruined. Besides a good nap, food is pretty much the highlight of any school day, so it doesn't seem like to much to ask to always only serve all of your favorite meals right?

3. "Okay after this class all I have to do is do laundry, clean my room, go to the store, finish editing my paper, eat dinner, take a shower, and fold all my clothes and then I can relax. Okay that's good. I got this."

Class always seems like a great place to be productive. So why not plan out your day? It is hard to pay attention when you have so much to do. So once you get the planning out of the way, you now feel like maybe you can pay a bit more attention to the lecture.

4. "I literally have no idea what is going on right now."

While you were busy thinking about anything besides the lecture, your professor decided to teach the most important and vital concept of the whole class. Now that you are actually paying attention, you are extremely lost. Which makes it even harder to follow what is being taught. It is a vicious cycle and you always tell yourself that next class you will force yourself to pay attention, but of course it never happens.

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.
