12 Signs You Know You Are A Islander
Sara Schmidt

Ever since I was a child, Block Island has been a vacation spot during the summer time with my family. Usually my aunt would rent a beach house for a week or two so my aunt's family and my family could come visit. Living on the Island for a week or two was always a must every summer. If we did not stay at the beach house we would just go to the island for a day trip. Yet whether it was staying there for a week or a day, Block Island in the summertime has became my second home. Every year I look forward to going to Block Island, as Block Island is such a gorgeous and amazing Island. Block Island has amazing beautiful beaches, has some cute stores, restaurants,ice cream places, lighthouses, wind farm , hotels, and so much more. Anyways here are 12 Signs You Know Block Island Is Your Home In The Summer.


1. Seeing The Bluffs of Block Island gets you excited because it means your almost at the Island.

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.
