Oh college. The place where you're supposed to learn how to take care of yourself and where you *attempt* to become an adult. It's a wonderful place full of trials and errors and lots and lots of fun nights. But, as much as you want to think that you know how to do everything, there's always going to be something you're still unsure about. But its okay! Because mom is just a phone call away. And chances are, there will be many things you need help with from mom. Here are a few of the questions you might find yourself picking up the phone for:

1. How do I use the washing and drying machine?

There'll all different and they may be very simple, but they definitely will be different from the ones at home and sometimes you just aren't sure. You could even be super lucky and not had to do laundry all through high school, but now your'e on your own. Call mom. Mom will always know.

2. How do I use an iron?

This may be irrelevant to you because you don't iron your clothing, but there will most likely some type semi-formal/formal you've been asked to and trust me, you're going to want to know how to use an iron.

3. What's the best wine I can get for the least amount of money?

This one may only be for the girls, but it's necessary. And you may not even like wine. But for the girls who like to have a girls night every once in a while and gossip, then this is necessary information. Call mom for this advice.

Okay, now mom is good for this question because sometimes you just aren't sure if it's a cold or something more and she is always a good judge of that. She always wants you to be healthy, but there's just some things not worth going there for.

5. How much are my loans?

You could know this going into freshman year, or you could be just learning about it your senior year. Either way, it's stressful to worry about and mom will usually be on top it. She wants you to be educated about it, and who better to help you than your mom.

6. What time is Scandal on?

She. Will. Know.

Whether it's a silly question about a television show or a serious question about your finances, you know you can always count on your one and only mom to help you answer them. It's important to reach out to her and she will appreciate being asked, even if she chides you for it being an obvious question.

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.
