One of my new favorite Youtubers is a man named Drew Lynch. He is a comedian who makes videos with his service dog, Stella, who is a brown lab. He calls these videos, "Dog Vlogs." Something unique about Drew is that he has a stutter. Drew didn't always have a stutter. He got a stutter after an accident while playing softball. He got hit in the throat with the ball, and it caused damage to his vocal cords. He said in an interview that the person he was before his injury wouldn't hang out with who he is now, and he admits that he used to be a jerk. Although Drew has a stutter, it in no way impedes his ability to make people laugh.

Actually, Drew was on America's Got Talent in 2015. He went on with a stand-up act that was comprised of jokes about his stutter. He did so well that he got Howey's golden buzzer, which pushed him straight through to the live shows. He made it all the way to the finale but ended up losing to a ventriloquist. Watch the video of his first audition.

Here are some the reasons why I like watching Drew and why I think he is great:

1. Drew is authentic.

Drew was upfront about who he was before his stutter, and who he is now. He said once that he tries to turn things into something positive, and I like that too. He tries to see the good in situations. On America's Got Talent, you could see how he truly was happy and enjoyed what he was doing. One of my favorite things he said after his audition to his girlfriend (after they dropped confetti on to him) was, "Is there confetti in my hair? I feel it in my heart." He also has the ability to laugh at himself, which is important, and also funny. His laugh makes others laugh.

2. Drew is funny.

From his stand up to his vlogs, Drew is very clever and funny. Something that makes his videos so funny is his editing skills. He puts words up on the screen to show Stella's "thoughts" and it makes the video lovable and so much funnier. Here is my favorite video.

3. Lastly, Drew exposes some of the problems with society.

Drew makes some videos about people disrespecting his boundaries when it comes to his service dog, and he tells stories about people at the airport and restaurants not respecting that Stella is a working dog. In my favorite video, that I linked directly above, Drew makes the comment that his stutter isn't getting better, the people who had a problem with his stutter and say that it is better are either used to it, or their morals have improved. Don't judge, Drew is just a normal awesome person who happens to have a stutter.

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.
