The Week Before Move-In Day, As Told By Corinne Olympios

Target is basically your second home...

It's that time of year again, folks... And who better to describe the week before you move back to school than Corinne Olympios?

When you realize that you go back to school in a week

But then you also realize that you have approximately a million and one things to do in order to get ready

And you're trying to balance all of this on top of your insane summer job schedule

And someone has the nerve to ask if you've packed yet

But just when you think you've saved yourself from the stressful conversation, they just bring it up again


Eventually, you pull yourself together and head over to Target to check some things off your list

You load up your cart with unnecessary items because you're in denial of just how broke you actually are...

And then your mom yells at you when you start unloading the endless bags from your car

She also sarcastically asks you how you're going to survive on your own

"You're not going to blow all of your money on Target shopping sprees and takeout food, are you?!"

Then you decide you should probably do something about the massive accumulation of stuff that covers your bedroom floor

And you finally discover the most painless way to pack it all

While also discovering the most efficient coping mechanism for all the stress you're under

And after all that... you successfully fit it all into a few suitcases and a few (hundred) bags

Then, you remember that you get to go back to school and see your friends in just a few days

Happy September, ladies and gentlemen. Wishing you all the best of luck tackling this school year!

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.
