Face it, we've all had people cancel plans with us sometime or another. Sometime's aren't as bad as other times. But what do you do when you were really looking forward to hanging out with a friend and they bail on you? Instead of freaking out and going to bed (like we want to do). Here's what you should do.

Go work out

Go to the gym and burn off some steam! Nothing will make you feel better than working out physically, mentally, and spiritually. What better way in saying "Hey you're a crappy friend" than going to the gym and working on becoming better.

Hangout with someone else

Call up that long lost friend that you haven't seen in a while and see if they want to go see that new movie that just came out. Make sure to add that your friends bailed on you to make them feel bad.

Go talk to your mom or dad

No matter what happens with you and your friends, your parents will always be on your side. They will make you feel better and probably cook you food if you tell them your friends bailed. Then they'll tell you how they've never liked that friend anyways.

Eat yourself to happiness

Go grab yourself your favorite snack and watch your favorite show on Netflix. I know it's not as fun and as hanging out with your friends would've been but they bailed, so they suck.

Go do whatever you were going to do with them, by yourself

Being in college I've learned that its cool to be by yourself and do things by yourself. You can go eat by yourself, shop by yourself and see a movie by yourself. Who needs anyone else when you have yourself? Anyone who judges you for being by yourself is missing out on life because being by yourself is great.

Although your friend just bailed on you, you have to give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they really did have something else important to do, or maybe they really didn't feel well. I'm not saying to stop being friends with them because they bailed, I'm saying don't get all worked up and upset on them bailing. There will be other times when they won't bail and you'll do whatever it is that you want to do.

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.
