Flashback to 2009. You're back in middle school. It's 10 p.m. on a school night and you're listening to music on your iPod Nano (or iPod Shuffle/iPod Touch). You're laying in bed, screaming your heart out. You're sad, and your heart is broken... or is it?

I can't count how many times back then I listened to songs, pretending as though I related to the artists. I don't even know how many times I sat there, angry at boys or the world, belting my whole heart and soul into songs by Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne, and Jordin Sparks.

It's funny looking back, actually having experienced real heartbreak and feeling bitter at the world for outcomes beyond my control. Back then, it was just little ol' me, experiencing some false big feelings. Now, it's still me, experiencing big feelings I wish I didn't have to feel.

Here are 15 songs I screamed my heart and soul into, and I bet you did too.

"Impossible" - Shontelle

"Unfaithful" - Rihanna

"What Hurts The Most" - Rascal Flats

"Pocketful of Sunshine" - Natasha Bedingfield

"One Step At a Time" - Jordin Sparks

"If I Die Young" - The Band Perry

"Rolling in the Deep" - Adele

"Too Little Too Late" - JoJo

"Fucking Perfect" - P!nk

"Breakaway" - Kelly Clarkson

"Sk8er Boi" - Avril Lavigne

"Tattoo" - Jordin Sparks

"I Never Told You" - Colbie Caillat

"Girlfriend" - Avril Lavigne

"Behind These Hazel Eyes" - Kelly Clarkson

"No Air" - Jordin Sparks

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.
