The Naval Academy is a fairly diverse place, but we all know the stereotypes of the motivators, cynics, and athletes. Based on my experiences, I added a few more to the list.

1. The Motivator

Can be found in the MacD or the barbershop.

2. The Cynic

Always happy to tell you about how none of this matters anyway.

3. The Traditionalist

In case you haven't heard, the Academy has gone soft.

4. The Love Chitter

Wait... since when are you in our company???

5. The Sleep-Deprived Engineer

Dark circles so intense they don't seem real.

6. The Striper who got Volun-told

They didn't ask for this, okay? And no, they don't have time to chat.

7. The Guy who studied abroad

Tbh we all forgot his name.

8. The SEAL pup

*Skips service assignment to work out*

9. The Guy who would Service-Select CMOD, if he could.

ALWAYS ON WATCH

10. The Guy who lives in Mac-D

And consumes protein powder in unhealthy amounts.

11. The Magician

Hey we need somebody to .... wait where'd he go?

12. The Varsity Athlete

You've seen them like five times since Reform. And you're roommates.

13. The Hermit

Never leaves their room. Except for formation... most days.

14. The Varsity NARP

Intramurals are not a joke, guys, we need to take ultimate frisbee very seriously if want to win the championship.

15. The Company Mom

Always makes sure everyone is doing alright... lowkey our favorite person.

16. The Frat Star

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.
