There is truly better feeling than getting your nails done.

The nail salon is where girls (and even guys) go treat themselves. There is nothing like taking an hour or two out of the day. But sometimes, it can be a stressful time at the nail salon. Can you relate?

1. "Square or Round?"

One of the biggest decisions you have to make in your life.

2. Putting your feet in boiling hot water.

Shout out to the ladies that feel the water while filling up the little foot-tub.

3. Picking out a color...

ESPECIALLY under pressure when the nail lady is ready and waiting for you to sit down and you STILL can't decide.

4. Cringing when your cuticles are pushed too far back.

All I can say is, "ow."

5. Wondering halfway through the process if you chose the right color.

Second doubts are the worst. But it usually ends up working out in the end anyway.

6. Trying not to laugh or kick your nail technician during the ticklish- callous-scrubby part.

It all goes fine until he/she stops scrubbing my heel and scrubs towards the middle of the foot.

7. Hoping the technicians aren't talking about you.

I mean, what are the chances anyway? (Probably very high).

8. Being asked if you want a design.

And kindly saying, "no thank you" because you are way past the phase of a flower being painted on their big toe or ring finger.

9. Becoming best friends with your nail technician.

It's the kind of relationship guys have with their barbers. You will never trust anyone else with your nails or your life details. But that just goes to show you how often we go to the salon...

10. Having to pay before your nails are even done.

I understand why they ask but come on. In the middle of my relaxation time?!

11. But the satisfying feeling of getting your nails done.

Congratulations. You are now a changed person.

12. Getting acrylics on.

There is just something about long nails that make you start moving your hands in a different way, and you feel so empowered with a set of fierce nails, you know?

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.
