Pants? What are pants?

Being at home alone is one of the few luxuries one can have that doesn't cost anything. Here are a few thoughts we all run through when we're home alone, living as the kings of our own castle.

1. Pants? What are pants?

If you live alone or you are home alone, then pants are non existent. XXL T-shirts and crew socks are my every day wear.

2. Not leaving your bed except for serious emergencies, like food and the bathroom.

Watching season upon season of "Grey's Anatomy" in one day, never leaving bed except to grab food and go to the bathroom. However, you know you have totally debated in your head if you really need to go to the bathroom.

3. The bathroom door never gets closed.

That bathroom door doesn't close. Ever. No point.

4. Spending hours in the bathroom having a dance party.

No shame, full Broadway productions of "Burlesque" have occurred in your bathroom while getting ready. The Super Bowl half-time show has nothing you. You might also just be getting ready so that you can Snapchat and look like you actually left the house today.

5. Getting irrationally terrified someone is going to murder you.

Was that the wind? Or was it the mass murderer from "SVU" come to hold me hostage and murder me. Time to call Mom.

6. Wash clothes more than once because you were too lazy to get them out of the washer.

No one else needs to use it. Sometimes they get washed 2-3 times before they make it out of the laundry room. It's an extra cleaning measure.

7. The couch is basically a second bed.

Sometimes the walk from the couch to your bedroom is just too far. Especially in the middle of the day. Beds are for sleeping, couches are for napping.That just sounds better.

8. Lying on social media.

"Such a productive day, all my homework is done, the house is all cleaned and now I am making this new super healthy recipe I just found on Pinterest!" (Tweeted from your bed, which you have not left all day.) Or snapping a picture of Netflix on Snapchat with the caption "time to relax" when you are on your third season of the day.

9.Using all the hot water.

You have totally sat in the bath tub for an hour running all the hot water, shut the water off, let the hot water build up again, drain the water down and fill it up again.

10. Talking to yourself or to your dog.

Living alone isn't lonely, you narrate your life to yourself. Sometimes out loud. I don't recommend out loud though because you will get into the habit and you will do it front of other people.

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.
