Here in the past couple of weeks, I have been working very hard, trying to lose weight, and make myself better. I wanted to go out with friends and noticed that I have NO clothes in my closet. I have spent so long working hard at my job, focusing on school, and working out among so many other things to notice that I have spent NO money on myself or new clothes to fit my new body with less weight.

When I came to this realization, I also realized something else: I have no clue what's in style, I don't know what's cute and that I have been living under a rock for as long as I can remember. I literally had not been paying any attention to any of the new styles, trends or anything else for so long. I haven't been able to afford any new clothes or spend any time on myself to make me feel good since high school. (I'm a junior in college.) So this made a change inside me for the better.

I went absolute declutter mode on my closet and life. I sold all of the old clothes in my closet that I didn't want anymore on top of unnecessary decorations that just made my tiny college apartment feel overwhelming. With this extra money, I got my hair and nails done. (I am a sucker for things like this. It made me feel AMAZING.) I then hit up the good ole Pinterest and literally typed in "2019 trends." I know this is kinda dumb, but I literally had no idea what is in style and what is cute. With my new Pinterest inspiration and the little bit of money I have accumulated from selling everything else, I went to my favorite online store and clicked sale and stocked up.

As my new goodies began to come in, I felt something I haven't felt in a long time. I cannot describe it, but the best I can do is say that I gave myself something I didn't know I needed or wanted. Now I know new clothes and stuff isn't necessary but it's something I wanted. I felt so out of place amongst my cool, stylish friends wearing my literally so old and dab clothes but I brushed it off to the point I didn't even know I felt that way.

So my advice to anyone that isn't feeling themselves: go shopping, get your nails done, get a spray tan, declutter. I promise it will help you so much, and it will be SO fun!

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.

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.
