When I was at college, I didn't watch anything. Basically all I did was go to class, hang out with my friends, go to my meetings, do homework, and sleep.

If I'm being honest, it was kind of a sad existence, and I noticed myself slowly getting into a rut. I wasn't really doing anything I normally did at home, and it was making me homesick.

Now, with all this time on my hands, I was reminded of my love of bingewatching. I have always loved bingeing, but it was always really difficult for me to find a show to stick to. I got super bored really easily, and I very rarely stuck with a series for too long. That being said, I have found a new love. Something that is real, shocking, and sometimes gruesome to watch.

I have always been a cynic, or "realistic" as I like to call it. I notice all of the bad things that go on in the world, I've been that way for as long as I can remember. To me, it's important to make yourself aware of everything that's going on in the world, not just the happy stuff.

Now, that leads me to one of the greatest discoveries that I could have ever imagined: Docuseries. I know what you're thinking, documentaries are boring, why would I ever want to watch a whole series dedicated to true events? Let me tell you, stop thinking like that. Some of these stories are so harrowing, it's impossible to not fall in love with them.

They allow you to see the world in a whole new light, and not all of them are sad. From "Self Made," a story discussing the triumph of Madam C.J. Walker to "Surviving R. Kelly," multiple testimonials of the victims of R. Kelly, there is something for everyone. I gotta tell you, I've watched four docuseries in the past four days, and it's not looking like I'm going to stop anytime soon.

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.
