March Madness: The best time of the year. This is a gambler's holiday that has people either jumping up and down on couches in a little celebratory dance or ripping up their brackets trying to hold back tears. The odds are 1 in 772 billion to pick a perfect bracket. Choosing the correct teams out of 64 is a difficult and risky task, which makes it exhilarating when you actually get it right. This month has everyone on their toes and phones looking to see if their bracket holds up. Everyone comes into MM with a different logic, understanding and tactic for how they go about picking teams to win for each round. With that being said; see if you fit into any of these types:

1. The fans that pick the teams with the best mascot.

West Virginia's mascot is incredible, to say the least, thus they must win.

2. The fans that pick their teams on ratings.

Just because a college is ranked No. 1 does not exactly mean that they will win the whole NCAA MM tournament, people.

3. The fans that pick the college they want/going to attend or already at because they believe it's the best one.

.

Well, duh.

4. The fans who pick the undefeated team just because of their record.

Although UK did have a spotless season last year, look at who won the title. Ouch.

5. The fans who pick the teams with the sickest uniforms.

Look good, feel good, do good.

6. The fans who pick the four No. 1 seeds for the Final Four.

C'mon, now—have some originality.

7. The fans that pick the teams with the top defensive stats.

Remember, defense wins championships.

8. The fans who pick their childhood college team to go all the way.

It's the dream, that hopefully, someday, will become a reality.

9. The fans who do exactly opposite of whatever this guy picks.

You're smart. Sorry, not sorry, Dick Vitale.

10. The fans that use the "eenie meenie miney mo," picking out of hat or flipping a coin tactic.

Not everyone has the time to research and keep up on the teams throughout their regular season. Have to pick somehow.

11. The fans that pick Notre Dame to win because St. Patrick's Day is in March and they're The Fighting Irish, so it just makes sense.

I mean, Notre Dame did make it to the Final Four in 2015. This strategy isn't so bad after all.

12. The fans who pick the same team who won last year because "if they can do it once, they can do it again."

Bet.

13. The fans who pick whomever Obama chooses because he's the president.

This man is leading our country, so I am sure he might have a few tips of how to pick the best bracket. I mean, just look at that form.

14. The fans who pick the teams based on how hot the players are.

Admittedly, I am a victim of this.

15. The fans that pick their state school team.

There is no other option.

16. The fans that take March Madness way too seriously.

We've all got one in the family.

17. The fans that believe in Cinderella Stories.

Let's throw it back to 2013 when No. 15 seed Florida Gulf Coast beat No. 2 seed Georgetown, and then No. 7 seed San Diego State, stunned the nation and became the first-ever No.15 seed to make it to the Sweet 16. Even better, when Virginia Commonwealth last year became the third No. 11 seed in history to earn a spot in the Final Four. Anything can happen. You never know with the game of basketball; that's what makes March full of madness.

18. The fans that choose whatever their brother's, friends, or family picks.


Accurate.

19. The bandwagon fans.

Somehow becoming a No. 1 fan of the winning team.

20. The fans that blow up social media by posting play-by-plays of every game like we don't already know what's going on.


Trust me, we're watching.

No matter what type you are, we all have one thing in common that connects us—the game of basketball. Good luck to you in forming your bracket for this year! Get rowdy, it's March Madness time!

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.
