Here's a list I've complied of things that make me know I'm a Fighting Scot through and through!

  1. You forget squirrels aren’t always black.
  2. Bagpipes make you tear up.
  3. You dread crossing the street for lunch.
  4. You consider french fries a full meal.
  5. You own something in bright yellow tartan.
  6. You actually wear the thing in bright yellow tartan.
  7. You remember the first time a stressed senior told you to get out of their carrel.
  8. You have gone out to eat with your favorite professor, probably know the names of their children and pets, and think of them as a second parent.
  9. Your friends are never more than 10 minutes away.
  10. If someone calls you a “hearty scot” you can feel the residual anger building.
  11. You fear I.S. but also can’t wait to get started.
  12. You either loved everyone from your FYS or never talked to them again.
  13. You’ve shown these videos to your non-Wooster friends only to realize they have no clue why they are funny….
  14. Seeing hoards of people walking around in kilts is normal.
  15. You aren’t actually sure what “mascot” you like more (the black squirrels are cute but so is Scottie and the Fighting Scot is cool but there is something unsettling about his cleft chin…)
  16. You get annoyed when people say “Woo-ster”.
  17. You know how to pronounce Beall and Bever correctly.
  18. You dream of Hartlerz.
  19. Buggies no longer seem out of place and you expect all Walmarts to have horse hitch.
  20. You know that Walmart is the cool place to be at 2am. #turntup
  21. You know you are either a Gault/Andrew’s or a Timken person.
  22. You’ve sent snapchats showcasing the Harry Potter like dorm you live in.
  23. You know the rest of this: “Independent minds…”

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.
