1. Cracking your phone screen.

Because someone somewhere thinks glass is the most practical material for something we're sitting on half the time.

2. Not having Wifi.

You might as well not have a phone at all.

3. You went over your data usage (again) this month.

One of the worst possible texts you can get.

4. This item is not eligible for Amazon prime.

You mean I have to wait three to five business days instead of two???

5. Choosing an Instagram filter.

I don't know if I should go with XX Pro or Valencia. I wanna look tan...

6. You didn't get enough likes on your picture.

But your caption was so cute and punny

7. They didn't text you back.

Ugh.

8. They didn't text you back and their read receipt is on...

Now this is just plain evil.

9. Your sarcasm doesn't translate properly through text.

Well it made sense in my head.

10. Getting tagged in ratchet photos of yourself on Facebook.

UNTAG before mom likes it.

11. Becoming "Facebook official."

Possibly a bigger decision than your actual relationship.

12. There is no emoji for that.

At least we have the middle finger now.

13. Paying your monthly Netflix fee.

The only downside to Netflix and chill.

14. Waiting for your phone/computer to update.

Just when you think the bar is fully loaded, it drops back down to zero.

15. You matched, but they haven't messaged you.

To make the first move, or to not make the first move...

16. You can't read/write cursive for shit.

All the effort you put in during the third grade has definitely not paid off.

17. Accidentally liking an Instagram photo from months ago.

Yeah there's no way to casually downplay that.

18. Running out of storage on your phone.

Yes, all 1,288 of these photos are important to me.

19. Waiting for your Venmo funds to transfer to your bank account.

I have -$80, so how does that work???

20. Your Uber driver cancelled on you.

Better call Lyft.

21. Debating accepting parent's/adult's friend requests.

There are some things your dad just should not see...

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
