Traveling For Holiday Breaks As Told By Buddy The Elf
Normons

Every year the holiday season rolls around and college students everywhere flock home to be with their families. The time leading up to the trip home can be quite hectic getting through security and through the masses of people that all seem to be traveling to the same place you are. But through all the hectic travel, Buddy The Elf here has summed up a few things about traveling that are all too true.

1. Saying bye to your friends before you leave. "Bye Buddy, hope you find your dad."


2. Forgetting to go to the bathroom before getting on the plane, so you have to use that tiny bathroom that's even too small for children.


3. When you don't know how to get your bag on the escalator, so you just have an awkward three steps in between you and your bag.



4. When TSA tells you they need you to step to the side because you have something suspicious on you.


5. When you can't afford the pricey airport food. Desperate times require desperate measures...

6. Daydreaming about all of the wonderful home-cooked meals you are going to have while home.


7. Telling your siblings and friends all that you're going to do once you get home!

8. Realizing halfway into your flight or drive you forgot something...


9. Small talk is key on flights home, especially when you're someone who forgot their headphones and needs to fill the awkward silence.

10. And finally, you make it home and all you want your family to know is that you love them.


Holiday breaks are wonderful and I hope this has made it an even brighter holiday for you!

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.
