To The People Still Stuck In High School

An average person will spend four years of their life in high school, give or take a few. Every person has a different memory of high school. If you were one of the popular kids, you would probably classify high school as, "the best years of your life." If you were a nerd or loner, you're probably glad you're out of school, and that's how it should be.


Although everyone's experiences are different, we all walked the same halls, and sat in the same boring classes, and did our time. No matter what group you were in, we should all be glad we are free when it is finally over, right?

WRONG

There are some people who will spend the next two-three years searching for people to relive high school through.


There are several types of people: There is the mean girl who still loves high school drama, there is the boy who refuses to date people his own age, and there is the girl who has been graduated for two years, but still only hangs out with sophomores. I'm sure we are all familiar with these kinds of people, we have them every where.

To the mean girl that still loves high school drama, know that no one appreciates it. The girls that are still in high school have an excuse to be petty, but if you have graduated you have no reason to still be talking about the things going on in high school. Stop tweeting about drama, stop attending sporting events just to get the low-down, and get out of everyone's business. You graduated for a reason, grow up.

To the boy who refuses to date people his own age, know that that is weird. I know a guy who recently turned 20 and has never had a girlfriend who was is out of high school. The definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Why would you continue to still fish from the same pond you've been in for the last four years? Go out, explore, find new people! You graduated for a reason, grow up.

To the girl who has been out of high school for two years but still only hangs out with high school aged teens, you need people your own age! Go to college, join a sorority, do something other than attend high school football games to relive your miserable life through other people again. You graduated for a reason, grow up.

And finally, to the people still in high school that plan on being this way, reevaluate your life. When you graduate go out and hang out with people your own age. Go party and have fun, do something crazy, get a tattoo, live your life outside of those four walls. You graduated for a reason, grow up.

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.
