10 Things That All Louisianians Can Relate To
New Orleans

Let me just start with Geaux Tigers...because, well, that is all we know in Louisiana! It is the home of Tiger football, Cajun cuisine, and the overuse of the word y'all and I could not love it more. Here are a few reasons you know you are from The Boot!

1. You could peel crawfish in your sleep

We basically learn how to peel crawfish tails before we can even walk...the true LA way.

2. The smallest amount of snow constitutes no for school for days

Oh what is that? A small snow flurry...yep let's cancel school for two days.

3. Tony Chachere's can be added to anything

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner...Tony's always brings your meal to the next level.

4.Tiger football is a lifestyle

Bama who? Bleeding purple and gold is a must as well as Saturdays spent in Death Valley!

5.You've gotten used to 100 percent humidity

Don't even try fixing your hair because the humidity will ruin it in within 10 seconds of walking outside.

6. King Cake is its own food group in February

...and if you find the baby you are the real MVP.

7. Cowboy boots are life

Really they are the only footwear you need while living in The Boot, they are appropriate for all occasions.

8. You know how to pronounce all the parishes...correctly

You impress everyone with your fast vocabulary of all the crazy sounds Parishes we have, like "Natchitoches"...yeah you know how to say it!

9. You've most likely seen every episode of Duck Dynasty

You've repeatedly let this family grace your TV screen and most likely have taken a picture at their Warehouse in Monroe.

10. And you constantly asked if you live in a swamp or bayou

No...not the entire state is a swamp, and no, I do not have an alligator in my backyard!

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.
