15 Signs You're From MAPSO
Wikipedia

MAPSO (Maplewood/South Orange) is one of the greatest places in the world. And I'm not being biased at all. Located in Northern New Jersey, we have the best bagels, pizza, humans and parties. If you don't think so, then you've probably haven't lived here for more than 10 years.

1. You know the ultimate bagel beef between Bagel Chateau and Hot Bagels.

2. You think going to Newstead is a hike.

3. You know that the Maplewood Trattoria is better than the South Orange one.

4. When you were in ninth or 10th grade, you bought your alcohol at Azcona or the other sketchy place on South Orange Avenue, and now that you have a fake ID, you can buy it at Payless or A&D.

5. When you're finally 21 and can drink at St. James Pub with the big boys.

6. You've probably applied to work at any of the food establishments in town (Arturo's, Trattoria, Tito's Burritos, Strawberry Fields, Stony's) until realizing it's the worst.

7. You were a lifeguard in ninth grade.

8. If one of your friends gets invited to a party, then the whole grade is probably mobbin' through.

9. You know somebody who aspires to be a rapper.

10. If you lived in Maplewood, then you probably smoked at the hill, and if you lived in South Orange, then you went into the goonies / acid bridge.

11. You've taken sunset or hiking pictures in the South Orange reservation.

12. There was always some crazy shit happening at Columbia High School.

13. You've run from the cops more than once.

14. You've had Twitter beef with someone.

15. You've witnessed a fight at Chyz.

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.
