Slang is what I like to call a "language phenomenon." It's derived from our basic languages and broken down into specific dialects related to each region. For example, where I'm from is known as the "DMV" (DC, Maryland, and Virginia). We have our own dialect that's exclusive to our area. Some of the most popular slang comes from the DMV, and other areas of the nation like New York, and Atlanta have slang that really stands out. Here's a brief description of some of the more popular words in the DMV slang dialect. You ready moe?

1. Moe

Can be a person place or thing, can be used as an expression; one of the most common terms in the DMV Slang.

2. Kill

Can be a situation, or finality to a situation, conversation ender, realization, usually negative in nature.

3. Jhi Like

Confirmation used to beat around the bush; used to emphasize.

4. You Himmie

Do you understand? Used to determine comprehension of said conversation.

5. Muvas

6. Wellin'

The most versatile slang word, meaning changes based on context, meant to keep moves discrete. Can be used to describe "relations," moves, actions, shenanigans, describe beauty, success, positive feelings of approval and satisfaction.

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.
