Welcome to Neverland by Sarah Kate Daskal

Pan flutes hanging from tied up strings

Lost Boys play with Lost Boy things

Indians dance to offbeat drums

Pixies, fairies all twiddle their thumbs

Crocodile clocks ticking past ships

Hook can’t form words, trembling lips

Caverns all filled with gold and riches

Neverland may leave you a couple stitches

But not shocked am I that I am here

Dare I say, I’ve got nothing to fear

Cause growing up was such a bore

I’ve got nothing to question, not anymore

Nobody needs me, I’m off on my own

I can walk where I want, I can be all alone

Flying through forests all covered in dust

Never thought I’d run out of faith and trust

Walking through willows and whirling through water

Not proper behavior for a banker’s daughter

and sometimes I miss it, I want to go back

But Peter won’t let me, says I can’t even pack

I’m starting to wonder if this place is alright

starting to wonder how to slip away at night

Lost boys go missing, going, going, gone

Indians go stone face, all red faced at dawn

Pan flutes make no noise, no sound, are silent

Pixies, fairies all mad, all get too violent

How do I leave here, how do I go home

Don’t wanna grow up, but wanna just roam

“Second star to the right..” should have come with a warning

Cause no one knows if you’ll make it til morning

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.
