I don't know about you guys but ever since Eric Church released his new album "Mr. Misunderstood" I have been obsessed with his song "3 Year Old". I think we can learn so much from kids. I've chosen a few of my favorite lessons from verses in the song. It's amazing what a little imagination, prayer, and humility can do.

1. The world looks better with a little color.

"Use every crayon color that you've got".

I think it's amazing how kids see the world with so much color. As we get older, things become black and white and complicated. We should stay colorful and simplistic.

2. All you need is a little imagination.

"You can be a cowboy on the moon".

Okay so maybe the whole "you can be whatever you want to be" thing you were told while sitting on your dad's knee isn't so true, but we can all use a lesson in imagination from kids. As adults, in college or the workforce, we face many obstacles. With a little imagination and courage we can not only overcome our obstacles, but excel far beyond them.

3. Jesus is only a call away.

"Talk to Jesus on the phone".

Sometimes we act like it's such a hassle to go to church and to pray but if we take a page out of the book of a kid, all we really need to do is call Jesus up on the phone and have a conversation. We do that daily with our friends and family so why can't we do it with Jesus too?

4. Give love to everyone.

"Say I love you all day long".

Adults are always so stingy with their love, but children give it away so freely. If we gave love to others, maybe everyone wouldn't be so angry all the time.

5. Just know that sometimes you're wrong and that's okay.

"When you're wrong you should just say so".

Now I understand that not all kids like to admit when they're wrong, but when they are, they don't sulk and get upset. They accept it and move on. Adults are such sore losers. When we're proven wrong, we pout and get mad. If we could just accept the fact that we are sometimes wrong, life would be so much easier.

6. Always appreciate you momma.

"Momma is an angel".

In fact there is no better angel than a mother. She does so much for you and yes, once we hit teenage years we can't help but get annoyed by her sometimes, but we should always appreciate her. Children have so much appreciation and respect for their parents and so much of the time it gets lost in growing up, only to show back up much later down the road when we have kids of their own.

7. Don't be afraid to ask for help.

"Sometimes all you need is a hand to hold".

I can't speak for all adults, but I know I am so chicken when it comes to asking for help. I think a lot of us would rather do things on our own before we have anyone help us. Jokes on us though, because we need to realize that it's okay to have help. It doesn't make us weak or ignorant, it just means we're human.

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.
