Local waitress, Stacy Gibbs, was hospitalized earlier this week after an unsuccessful first date. Gibbs was using Alright Eros, an online dating app, when she was injured.

“I had been talking to him for a few days, and it seemed to be going really well,” says Gibbs. But when I walked into the restaurant, I fell right over and smashed my face on the floor.”

Gibbs had been knocked unconscious and woke up the next day in Lankenau Hospital. She later found out what happened from her would-be date, James Cooper.

“I just wanted to have an open mind about things,” says Cooper. “I’ve been striking out lately, so I figured I’d just say yes to the next girl that agreed to go on a date with me, no matter how horrible she seemed. But I guess I just set the bar too low.”

As luck would have it, the next girl was thoroughly horrible, but Cooper’s chances are likely long gone anyway. After explaining himself to Gibbs, the couple’s brief connection was severed.

“I just find it insulting,” says Gibbs, “I’m a catch - I deserve someone who can see that. I have a job, I’m getting my masters degree - I’m incredibly good-looking too.” When pressed, Gibbs was unable to explain just what it was she was looking for in a match.

Respect? Attention? Instagram followers?

“I want to die,” says Cooper, who has sworn off online dating and most other forms of social interaction. “This is like high school all over again.”

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.
