What to do Your First Weekend Home:

You just can't help it.

What to do Your First Weekend Home:
Emma Jinno

So, you've suffered midterms, gross showers, and mediocre food for a good solid seven weeks now, and its finally that time where you get a nice break to escape this life and go live your second one at home. Here's how to spend and enjoy that time optimally:

1. Eat good food and of course, add it to your snapchat story and brag to your other friends still at college how you got to eat Green and Tonic while they eat caf food.

2. Post an obligatory picture with or just of your pet. Show them some much needed love since you were away for so long.

3. Try to forget about all of the assignments you were given, but then remember that they exist last minute and do it at the last second. (No image available, mainly because I left my textbooks at school)

4. Go shopping! Especially those of us who don't have cars on campus, buy all your necessary goods in advance so you wont have to worry about them later... And clothes. Always buy extra clothes.


5. TEXT YOUR FRIENDS! See who's home and reconnect and rant about roommates, professors, maybe even lab partners. There's nothing better than laughing at (or with) each other.


6. Steal nice sweaters and jackets from your mom and pack them quickly before she notices they're gone.


7. Enjoy your bed and shower, and remember that 3x5 shoebox you now live in and how you took your room and showering shoeless for granted all of these years.


8. Annoy your siblings and teach them who's boss again.


9. Visit your favorite and least favorite high school teachers... Reminding them that you graduated and are doing just fine.


10. Spend quality time with those people who raised you because chances are they miss having to drive you around or yelling at you to pick up your clothes off the ground.

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
