No one can relate better to the struggles of Chandler Bing better than Odyssey writers.

1. You sit down and log into MUSE all confident, soon to realize that you have no idea what to write about.

And, even if you do know what to write about, you never know where to start.

2. You then spend more time coming up with an idea for an article than you do actually writing it.

"Has 'College Struggles Told by Friends' been done before?"

3. After what seems like forever trying to come up with an original idea, you finally have a revelation and come up with one.

4. You begin to write your heart out and type like there's no tomorrow.

5. You finally finish and hope it's good enough for Odyssey to share it on social media.

6. You click "Next" and realize that you still have to write the subheadline, header, metadata title and description, etc...

7. Finding a header picture also takes you forever, and then the perfect URL is taken.

See also: finding a picture but it's too small, not being able to find a source for a listicle picture, etc. etc. etc.

8. You get everything done and finally click "submit" and are just relieved you got it in before your deadline.

9. Your article gets published and Facebook decides to not put your share on anybody's newsfeed.

10. You then check social media constantly to see if Odyssey posted your article, but they never do.

11. You then get a message from your Editor in Chief asking for what you're gonna write about for next week and you don't know how you're gonna come up with another idea.

12. Soon after, you sit down, log into MUSE, and start the whole process 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.
