As summer rolls to a close, college students across the country are preparing to move back onto their campuses. Eager freshman are probably running around your campus currently preparing for their first days in a new world, while you procrastinate packing (why do you think I'm writing this?) Although a majority of college students are dreading classes starting again, we all have one thing in common: we miss campus. Each campus has it's own unique way of life and different quirks, but here are ten things every Lindenwood University student definitely misses:

1. Pastries from the Spellmann Coffee Shop.

Donuts? Chocolate Long Johns? Cinnamon Rolls? Nothing says, "I'm late to class but need breakfast," like one of these sugary confections.

2. Easy access to Main Street.

Whether you're there for the daytime scene, nightlife, or just for a casual coffee break at Picasso's, you know you've thought at least once "wow, I could sure go for a $1.25 burger at Lloyd and Harry's."

3. Puppies. Everywhere.

Shout out to Five Acres Animal Shelter for lending us your furry friends. They can come back anytime, and they always have somewhere to stay (in my room, preferably.)

4. Never needing to cook for yourself.

OK, we technically can't miss our food because no one has had it yet but...

This year we have ALL NEW CHOICES. Chick-fil-a, Qdoba, and a new coffee shop are gracing our campus with their heavenly presences. Cha-ching.

5. Mount Roemer.

I'm completely kidding. No one's ready for that work out. Cheers to showing up to class sweaty!

6. But... Butler Library, though.

Let's be real, everyone misses Butler because they miss impromptu naps when they're supposed to be doing something important.

7. Being only a text away from your friends.

Sure, summer is fun and all until you can't call your friends and go out for food within five minutes because they, well... don't live two doors down from you.

8. The constant stream of random Yaks.

We all know one thing: hometown Yik Yak sucks. Lindenwood's Yaks tend to be wild and sometimes out of hand (pineapple dude, RRG?) but definitely more fun than any other campus' Yaks I've seen. Keep on Yakking, kids.

9. Grab 'n' Go Pizza.

I just miss Grab 'n' Go and pavilion food in general. Maybe they'll start combining puppy visits with the pavilion food days.

10. Being viral on the Internet for wild geese.

This will go hands down as one of the funniest things to ever occur on campus. Who knew that homicidal geese could launch us into the world of Internet fame?

One thing is for sure, no matter how much we hate the daily grind, everyone loves being back on campus. Here's to another successful year!

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.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
