What Your New Years Plans Say About You

Extreme Procrastinator.

You thrive under pressure, especially when you have two fleeting hours until those dinner plans you just made the reservation for. That's enough time to find a satin velvet dress, knee high boots, a velvet choker, and a vintage leather handbag, right? While most would utter in panic, you do this sh*t for a living. A hasty one-to-two hour shopping spree, plus one hour of getting ready, is a success, always.

Carbs, Carbs, Carbs.

2017 is upon us. You are determined to drop those flabby arms and stomach in the new year. Before then, you have just 24 hours to devour every calorie-based item in sight. That's right, the seven layer brownie sundae on the menu will be indulged, and you will enjoy it. Hurry fast, because by noon the next day, carrots and crackers will devastatingly be your new go-to. That is, until your diet is cut short due to a withdrawal of succulent dinners and desserts. Will-power, people.

Booze and chill.

What other way to bring in the new year than belligerently chug an entire 30-case of coors light with friends in a high school acquaintances basement? Nothing sounds quite more alarming than a bunch of 20-somethings frolicking around a house as if they are back in a grimy and unsanitary fraternity house. Hey, at least you and your wallet will be satisfied in the morning.

Nightlife clubs/bars.

What does New Years Eve and the Big Apple have in common? A sh*t ton of celebration and regret. Going out clubbing is a big price to pay for an evening that reminds you why you're spending your week's worth paycheck in the first place. One, you overlook the past achievements you have not made this year, and would rather drown out your sorrow with sweaty strangers and a massive hangover in the morning. Furthermore, your love life is in despair and the desperation for a hook-up is in full gear. Don't worry about blacking out, though. You'll have a documented 100-second snapchat story you will puzzle back together the following day.

Your bed.

Forget champagne showers and one-night stands. All you need are dim lights, a tub of Ben and Jerry's Half Baked Ice cream, two melatonin, and a live HD viewing of New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest, and you have yourself one rowdy night.

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.
