Don't you hate when you're doing a quiz and suddenly your internet goes out? Cause I do. And I've had it happen. Multiple times.

Campus internet is used by a lot of people at once so I understand why it may be slower than we would like but at the same time, we need reliable internet to be able to do assignments. We should not have to worry if we'll be screwed over by the WiFi suddenly disconnecting.

The number of videos I had to watch for a class that should have only taken 10 minutes to watch can sometimes take up to an hour because of constant buffering which is ridiculous.

If the university is going to be technology-dependent then it needs to have constant reliable internet. Students pay thousands upon thousands of dollars a year. There has to be enough in there to pay for a better internet.

Along with internet that keeps going out, there is also the aspect of weak Wi-Fi. If we have to have the unstable internet we have when it comes to staying connected, can we at least have internet that won't change video resolutions six times in the same video?

Internet is needed for university nowadays and needs to be good enough for education purposes. I oftentimes have to use Word document instead of Google Docs because at least Word won't disconnect while writing an essay. I shouldn't have to worry about that. No one should.

Whether it be slow internet or unreliable internet, college campuses need to make sure WiFi is always top-notch for students who stress enough as it. Stressing about whether they are going to lose progress because of bad internet should not have to be a thing.

Welcome to 2019... Let's get good internet.

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.
