16 Things People From Carmel, Indiana Know Beyond A Doubt

Not only was Carmel, Ind. the best place to grow up, it will always be where I call my home. No matter what, I will always be proud to say that I'm from this place. There are many things that make Carmel what it is. I know my fellow Carmelites will understand the following...

1. Welcome to the city of roundabouts, Carmel, Ind. Carmel has more roundabouts than any other city in the United States.

2. No need for a gym membership when you have the Monon Trail, the 18.1-mile long trail that is used daily by bikers, walker, runners, rollerbladers, etc.

3. You grew up going to Bub's Burgers, Home of the Big Ugly Burger, with family and friends.

4. In your spare time, you would go to Citgo/Valero to get slushies, quenching the cravings for less than a dollar.

5. You're never alone in downtown Carmel due to the abundant realistic statues.

6. You went to the largest high school in the state, Carmel High School, home of the Greyhounds.

7. You're always safe because there are cops on every corner.

8. Goodwill finds are not too shabby, often with tags still on them.

9. The rivalry between West siders and East siders is pretty intense.

10. Directions are easy, "I live 146th/136th/126th in..."

11. Your artwork might have been showed in the World's Smallest Children's Art Gallery.

12. Don't be fooled by the Foolery that's currently in Downtown Carmel, it will never be the same as the original Foolery.

13. When you say, "I am from Carmel, Ind." you prepare yourself for what comments you are going to get.

14. There will always be construction.

15. The Kroger has live music, a restaurant, a sushi train, a Cake Bake Shop, a bistro, and many more sections.

16. Money Magazine ranked Carmel, Ind. the #1 best place to live. [Drops mic.]

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.

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.
