20 Best Places For Grad Pictures at UMD

The class of 2017 just graduated, and I'm starting to think about my own graduation next year (hopefully because I haven't gotten any grades back). The past month or so, I've been seeing grads in white dresses and regalia taking pictures at major University of Maryland landmarks. With thousands of students per class, you bet I'm not waiting an hour for people to take pictures in front of flowers or a fountain so I can take my own pictures. Instead of your typical Testudo and Mckeldin Mall pictures, I'm considering these options and offer them to you as well:

1. The 24 Shop

2. The Orange Bus

3. One of the study carrels you've cried in

4. The lecture hall where you realized that college is hard and you're not all that

5. Shanghai Cafe

6. 7-Eleven

7. The Bagel Place

8. The old Plato's Diner

9. Rugged Wearhouse

10. Wrap station at the Diner

11. Your dorm from freshman year

12. Your favorite late night pizza place

13. Stamp food court

14. A tailgate

15. In front of construction because that was the most consistent part of your time here

16. You with your car that has a ticket from DOTS because that was also consistent

17. Candid of you avoiding a canvasser

18. Candid of you narrowly avoiding a biker going 777 mph on the sidewalk who is impressing NO ONE

19. With the pastor that preaches about how we're all going to hell who sometimes makes an appearance in Hornbake Plaza

20. Getting kicked out of Bent's

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.
