The Meaning of Home
Jermean Tabar

The term "Home" can often times be mistaken as a physical object, yet I beg to differ. For many, Home is filled with memories of you growing up, whether it be good or bad. It is filled with the people you love, as well as it is apart of who you are. I believe there are many definitions to the word "Home", yet when I begin to think about such a word, I connect it to a person. For me, there are people that are automatically connected to the idea of the term "home." This idea stands for just more than just the place you sleep, but rather it's about what the word "home" truly defines, and why it reminds me of certain people. Home stands for comfort, for peace. It's where you can find love and happiness or possibly it's where you feel the most safe and can truly be yourself. Even though many people could possibly fit those characteristics, there's one person who stands for it all for us. There's always that one person who allows us to feel safe, allows us to speak our mind and listens to what we truly have to offer to this world. In many different words, this person is our home. There is happiness and laughter with them, but just as home can be a bad place, there will also be some bad times involved with this person. But the driving force that stands out about that person, is trough the bad times, it prospers your relationship and makes you stronger than before. The person this article is about doesn't really matter, it really matters more that you go out into the world and just find that person. Once you find them, don't let anything happen to them. Don't let stupid, unnecessary things come in between you and that person. At the end of the day, remember that this person will always be there for you, as you will always be there for them. Enjoy every single second with them, and don't ever take them for granted. Don't forget to tell them you love them, or just a simple "Thank You" for being them. It may be hard to notice that there's that one person who defines "home" when you are surrounded by so many amazing people in your life, but next time you're with that person, take a second and just really look at them. Could you imagine life without them? That answer is up to you, but if it is a yes, cherish that moment and cherish that person.

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.
