1. You get made fun of for being from Texas, because SpongeBob made an episode about it.

I'M UNIQUE, OK :D

2. You instantly find yourself preparing for the worst:

REAL cold weather, not fake Texas cold weather.

And looking something like this:

Ron Swanson= your new spirit animal. #thecoldneverbotheredmeanyway

3. Telling yourself you signed up for this.

Literally, like you accepted your admission and your parents are paying for your tuition. And you're on your own in a ~whole new world~. But at least you have good ~views~, right? I think Drake would be proud.

4. Getting made fun of for wearing size Large t-shirts and not being able to see your shorts.

I've been brainwashed by the Southern culture. Sorry not sorry.

5. Missing the greatness that is Whataburger.

But, it's ok because you brought your number tent with you to remind you of where your heart really is. #HBCB forever. That's Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit for those who aren't Texan. And yes that is mouthwatering.

6. You love Texas, but you kinda don't wanna go back home.

Because mountains. And actual seasons. And great views at Horsetooth Reservoir. And skiing.

7.You jump on the Denver Broncos bandwagon.

Still love you Cowboys. But the Broncos are awesome. And Von Miller. Observe.

#horsepower

8. Texas comes to you. TORCHY'S.

If you've never been,Torchy's is originally from Austin, Texas, and is amazing. It's located in Foothills Mall right next to Smashburger. Get the Trailer Park ("Trashy" style), and an order of Chips and Queso. You will not be disappointed.

9. Less Dr.Pepper to find on campus. Very sad, but the grocery stores are abundant.

10. Last but not least, you get addicted to Silver Grill. Best Fort Collins gem, hands down.

Cinnamon Roll French Toast. Need I say more.

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.
