Our 13-year-old selves never truly leave us. Middle school was a time of turmoil. We all tried to fit into some sort of niche and some of us...well, some of us were emo kids, whether we realized it or not. After all, emo wasn't just a genre or a style. Emo was a feeling.

Here's to knowing that it wasn't just a phase, Mom.

1. You're shocked when someone doesn't know all the lyrics to "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" by Panic! at the Disco.

"What do you mean this song wasn't vital to your entire childhood?"

Bonus points if you insist on using the exclamation point.

2. A certain "G" note on the piano immediately gets you excited.

(For those who don't understand: It's the opening note to "Welcome to the Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance.)

3. You've ever uttered the phrase "defend pop punk."

Not to be confused with Fall Out Boy's "Save Rock and Roll."

4. You joke about "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence, but it secretly used to be your jam.

Hopefully I'm not alone on this one...

5. You're all too familiar with this image:

6. ...and this one.

7. You once had bangs that could cover at least one eye.

Or maybe you still do. No judgment here.

8. You were a Hot Topic frequenter.

And you were super embarrassed when your mom came into the store with you.

9. Finger-less gloves once seemed endlessly cool to you.

Goes best with: black skinny jeans, sour attitude.

10. You...experimented...with eyeliner.

Pete Wentz was doing it, too!

11. Converse were the only type of shoe you'd wear.

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.
