It's that time of year again, and everyone is sick. Here's a list of the things you probably tell yourself when you end up getting sick in college.

1. "I'm not sick, it's just allergies."



2. "No, seriously, it's just a runny nose, I'm fine."



3. "It's a small cough, I can power through."



4. "I'm not sick, I don't have time to be sick."



5. "Okay... I'm sick."



6. "I can't stay home, my class has mandatory attendance."



7. "I have to go to class, we have a final this Friday."



8. "Mom... I'm still sick... what do I take?"



9. "Why did I go to class? I feel like death."



10."I'm so sick that death feels better than I do."



11. "How many pills can I take before it's unhealthy?"



12. "What pills can I mix together to get better faster?"



13. "I swear I'm not a drug addict, I'm just sick."



14. *At the store buying medicine* "Please, allow me to buy this many boxes of medicine, I'm so sick."



15. "Is it socially acceptable to drink NyQuil at 2 p.m.?"



16. "I'm just gonna lay on my floor and wait for the medicine to take effect."



17. "I'm on so much medication right now, I cannot pretend to be sane."



18. "Why me? Why now?"



19. "What's it like to be healthy? And breath through my mouth closed?"



20. "Do I look as bad as I feel?"


21. "I can't blow my nose anymore, it feels like I'm rubbing it with sandpaper. It probably looks like Rudolph."



22. "I never want to get sick again!!"



23. "Dang it, I'm sick again."


Stay healthy this season.

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.
