These are some super simple life changes that will help to save the environment.

1. Use bars of soap instead of liquid 

This saves tons of plastic and there are many natural and gentle brands.

3. Use Ecosia instead of Google

Ad revenue pays for trees! Every 45 searches you'll plant a tree!

4. Switch to a menstrual cup

Switching will save you money and decrease your chances of TSS.

7. Switch to a different brand of toilet paper

Who Gives A Crap is made with recycled materials and the company donates 50% of their profits to help improve sanitation in the developing world.

8. Take your own bags to the grocery store

What are you doing with all those extra plastic bags anyways?

9. Invest in some dryer balls

As young people, we typically don't use luxury items like dryer sheets. However, dryer balls last forever and with just a few drops of your favorite essential oil, your laundry will smell amazing.

10. Buy reusable produce bags

Again, saves you from using so much plastic!

11. Get a cute water bottle

Not only will this help you use less plastic, but it will also encourage you to drink more water. There are so many cute designs!

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.
