One of the great things about going to a university is the amazing number of opportunities to study abroad. But, while traveling to Europe is definitely on my bucket list, this summer I'll be spending my days working, watching "Bob's Burgers"and scrolling through thousands of social media posts featuring cute clothes, tan skin, and European landmarks. Don't get me wrong.

I love seeing the gorgeous pictures you know they planned months before the trip, but I would be lying if I said I didn't have these thoughts every once in a while.

1. “It doesn't matter!" Denying you are stuck working while your friends have the adventure of a lifetime.

Louise Belcher "It doesn't matter!"

2. “I'm fine." And of course, it doesn't bother you at all.

3. “This will either be fun or terrible." Thinking about spending the summer at home.

4. “But ironic detachment is great! Nothing means anything!" Because you're “soooo happy" for them…and not jealous at all.

Gene Belcher

5. “Was it obvious I don't care?" When you're scrolling through the emotional, heart-felt, three paragraph post accompanied by photos of an ambiguous European landscape.

Gene and Tina

6. “I've eaten nine pieces of cake, and I still feel empty." Because no amount of American spaghetti and wine can cure your Italian fever.

7. “The real tragedy is that I don't have time to get nachos before we start." Of course there is a positive — you can eat whatever you want because you won't be needing that “summer body."

8. “Ugh, my heart just pooped its pants." One of the many thoughts you have while looking through Instagram posts of people in Europe.

Tina Belcher, broken heart

9. “Oh. It's okay, I guess I wasn't meant to have a good life." Oh and this one too.

10. “Oh, why don't you go fart in a phone booth!" And this one. Especially if they are in London.

Angry Linda Belcher

11. “Oh, put some mistletoe on my butt and kiss it." When you complain about working instead of traveling and someone says, “Well, I never traveled abroad in college."

Belcher Christmas

12. “Oh, I swear to god, if you keep talking I'm gonna gut punch you." “At least you're making money." Yes, instead of having the SUMMER OF A LIFETIME. Please. Keep talking.

Sassy Louise Belcher

13. “This is taking too long! I need chocolate!" One of the many thoughts you have while working.

Gene Belcher and chocolate

14. “If you need me I'll be down here on the floor dying." Definitely a thought you have after working a 9-5 shift.

Tina Belcher on the floor

15. “My life is more difficult than anyone else's on the planet, and YES, I'm including starving children, so don't ask." And this one too.

Moping Gene Belcher

16. “Summer is awful! There's too much pressure to enjoy yourself!" Finally, maybe the most relatable quote – whether you are traveling or working.

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.
