20 Things You Should Wish For

Maybe it's your birthday, or a shooting star just streaked across the sky, or one of your eyelashes fell out. Point is, you need something to wish for and asking for peace on Earth is a little too "Miss America" for your taste. Opportunities for cosmic assistance are few and far between. You don't want to waste them! You could use your wish to ask for good health or happiness, but that's so… generic. Here are some things that you should wish for instead.

  1. Fast Wi-Fi.
  2. A huge wardrobe.
  3. A signed poster of Michael Cera. Because, why not? It's only a matter of time before he's too old to play the awkward teen roles and gets kicked out of Hollywood.
  4. A potted cactus that you'd only have to water once in a while.
  5. A treehouse. Not a little kid one either. A fully functional tree house complete with bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen.
  6. Good grades. I mean, you've been wishing for this the whole school year anyway. Might as well try again.
  7. A really bad movie to make fun of. I'm not going to name names, but you know what I'm talking about.
  8. A boyfriend in an indie rock band who'll write songs about you.
  9. A college degree. Too real?
  10. A Batmobile.
  11. The abandonment of Chacos as acceptable footwear. I don't actually have anything against Chacos. I just think that wishing against something rather than for something makes a person feel more powerful.
  12. Concert tickets.
  13. Moon Shoes. These will probably be the first infomercial-advertised items I'll purchase once I turn 18.
  14. A hammock. Like a swing set, but lazier.
  15. Workout clothes. Perfect for lying around in your hammock all day.
  16. A sword. You will never need this for any practical purpose ever. Now go wish for one.
  17. To never stutter when making a comeback.
  18. A hollowed-out book. Awesome, except I have no idea what you would even put in one. Your Moon Shoes?
  19. Chicken nuggets.
  20. A friend like me.

    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.
