19 Reasons To Love 19-Year-Old Dylan Larkin

While most college students are confused as to what to eat for lunch, what classes to schedule for the upcoming semester, or figuring out if it’s socially acceptable to wear the same PJs to class you slept in, 19-year-old Red Wings rookie Dylan Larkin is putting us all to shame by becoming one of the newest, and youngest members of the Wings. Not only is Larkin kicking serious a** on the ice, he is on the fast track to becoming a household name as a teenager.

1. Larkin, a native Michigander, represents his home team of the Detroit Red Wings.

2. Dylan became the first 19-year-old to debut on opening night since the 1990-91 season.

3. He looks good in red.

4. He also looks good in white.

5. Larkin was voted NHL rookie of the month of November by working hard all month long and putting up the numbers to get there.

6. His friendship with Captain Henrik Zetterberg is the ultimate big/little brother relationship.

7. He’s had his fair share of punches and hits from fellow NHL players that are typically 180+ lbs., yet always manages to get back up and continue playing.


8. Dylan hangs out with the Red Wings on a day-to-day basis. Can you say squad goals?!

9. Throughout the whole process of becoming drafted, Larkin has managed to stay humble through it all.

10. After he scores, Larkin does this one legged celebration which makes scoring 10 times better.

11. His face after each goal is priceless.

12. Along with four other players from Michigan, Dylan and his teammates visited the construction site for the new rink to support all of the workers and thank them for their hard work.

13. Dylan Larkin is always looking put together and handsome, whether that be in his jersey or dressed in a suit and tie.

14. Frankly, I'm sure he'd look good in anything.

15. Larkin represented USA at the 2015 World Junior Ice Championships, where he led the team in scoring and ended up being named one of the top players for team USA.

16. He also played hockey for the University of Michigan for a year before he forfeited his remaining three ears of eligibility to continue on his journey to the pros.

17. He's magical alright.

18. Larkin continuously amazes coaches, teammates, and fans every game with his incredible skills.

19. Dylan Larkin has already taken the hockey world by storm at age 19, and we can all only imagine what the rest of his hockey career has in store. LGRW!

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.
