As I get another email about registration fast approaching, it dawns on me that junior year is literally right around the corner and that means that senior year isn't so far away anymore. And you know what? That's scary beyond belief. I might sit here applying for internships thinking I'm on the way to becoming an adult, but in all honesty, I'm not ready for what the future holds after college. So in the meantime, I put the future in the back of my mind and focus on what's in front of me — the two glorious years of shenanigans I have left. So what's the best way to best use of my time here? A bucket list. So here's the bucket list thoroughly compiled for anyone who wants to make the most of their time here.

1. Try Dinosaur Bar-B-Q.

2. Be here to celebrate a March Madness title win (totally feasible considering the road to the Final Four looks pretty good, a.k.a., Gonzaga sucks).

3. Attend as many fraternity / sorority formals as possible. (Two in one weekend? Challenge accepted.)

4. Take a successful Castle court Instragram photo, followed by a successful day at Castle (a.k.a., making it to the game after a tailgate).

5. Complete a bar crawl.

6. Utilize the infamous kissing bench.

7. Attend the NY State Fair (trust me on this one, the food is bomb).

8. Sex in a public place, a.k.a., the quad, the dome or the Whitman team rooms.

9. Go to the top of the water tower.

10. Ring the bell on Crouse.

11. Visit the greenhouse in Life Sciences.

12. Snow tube down the hill by the musical school.

13. Eat in every dinning hall / food spot on campus.

14. Get written up (for all you rebels out there).

15. Have dinner at the Chancellor's house.

16. Take a run to South Campus (and back if you're up for the challenge).

17. Get a picture with Boeheim.

18. Drink at every bar on the Hill.

19. Enroll in the Beer and Wine course and / or Human Sexuality.

20. Camp out waiting for tickets to a UU show.

21. Make it on the campus Snapchat story.

22. Attend every home sports game.

23. Know your way successfully around Destiny Mall.

24. Visit the Ithaca Gorges.

25. Attend every Juice Jam and Mayest.

26. Cry at multiple places in public (a.k.a., a cubicle in Bird).

27. Throw an off-campus party.

28. Take a picture with Otto,

29. Go ice-skating at Trinity,

30. Go to Syracuse Parade Day.

31. See a show at Westcott Theater.

32. Take a ride in a DPS car (bonus points if it's with Officer Friendly).

33. Visit every frat house / successfully complete a frat crawl.

34. Successfully steal from the dinning halls (full gallons of milk, ice-cream sandwiches, whatever floats your boat).

35. Watch the sunrise on top of an academic building. (Slocum Hall maybe?)

36. Have a hungover breakfast at Stella's Diner.

37. Hear an original poem from Mickey the Flying Busman.

38. Celebrate Halloween on multiple nights (Halloween weekend obviously).

39. Have baton girl teach you a few moves.

40. Witness a bar fight.

41. Eat at Faculty.

42. Visit the ESF campus (eh debatable).

43. See the puppies on the quad (trust me, that $1 will be worth it).

44. 110 percent bleed orange.

Take them, change them, do what you want with them. Thank you, Syracuse, for making the possibilities endless.

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.
