As Thanksgiving is coming to an end, the TV is flooded with holiday advertisements. While I'm painfully watching one ad after another, I can't help but think about whatever happened to all those toys we had as kids. Remember these?

1. Gameboy

And you had to have it in pink.

2. American Girl Dolls

Samantha Parkington was the OG.

3. Shrinky Dinks

Were you cool if you didn't wear a Shrinky Dink tied around a piece of lanyard as a necklace?

4. Pretty Pretty Princess

And you would find the jewelry randomly all over your house.

5. Polly Pockets

Still not as good as Barbies, but these mini pieces of plastic rocked.

6. Furbies

These were SO creepy and looked stoned. Why did we love them so much?

7. Easy Bake Oven

You felt so proud after making something yourself, even if it was actually pretty inedible.

8. Tamagotchi

These were awesome until you accidentally left your "pet" unattended during a long day of elementary school and starved it.

9. Hit Clips

What isn't great about listening to 10 seconds of "I Want Candy" over and over again?

10. Mall Madness

Teaching kids everywhere how to recklessly swipe their credit cards.

11. Bop It

These were low-key hard.

12. Skip-It

How many times did you accidentally whip your friend in the ankle with this while making her watch you do it?

13. My Size Barbie

Did this freak out anyone else's parents?

14. Butterfly Clips

The more glitter the better.

15. Klutz Hair Wrap Books

Who needs to fly to an Island to get their hair wrapped?

16. Slap Bracelets

A weapon and a piece of jewelry all in one.

17. Spice Girls Dolls

Spice Girls EVERYTHING.

18. Lisa Frank Coloring Books

The goddess of arts and crafts.

19. Sky Dancers

What was the point of these anyway?

20. Betty Spaghetty

The perfect cross between Polly Pockets and Barbie.

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.
