I know what you are thinking, why is referring back to junior year where there was junioritis? Well, you get to junior year, you will learn these important life lessons like I did.

Here are the 31 important life lessons I learned from junior year:

1. It's less about quantity and more about quality.

2. Good friends are rare, so hold onto them.

3. Everyone is going through something.

4. You have to work for what you want.

5. Nobody is really sure what they're doing.

6. Nobody is going to do things for you.

7. Everything your parents told you was right.

8. You probably won't end up where you thought you'd be.

9. You'll end up exactly where you're supposed to be.

10. The ability to forgive is so important.

11. You can love someone, but you can't change them.

12. Sometimes you have to let them go.

13. Some people will never get their priorities straight.

14. You don't have to accept things you are not okay with.

15. It's okay and sometimes necessary to put yourself first.

16. Asking for help doesn't make you weak-it makes you wise.

17. Friends you tear you down aren't "friends" at all

18. People will take advantage of you if you let them.

19. The scariest things are usually the worthwhile things.

20. You can do far more than people think you are capable of.

21. You won't remember the nights you sat in and studied.

22. Take pictures--and lots of them.

23. Love is a two-way street.

24. Beauty is skin deep.

25. You're going to feel lonely sometimes.

26. Someone always has your back.

27. Listen to your gut feelings.

28. Moments and memories are more important than material things.

29. Holding in your feelings will hurt you more.

30. Do things while you have the chance.

31. Stay true to yourself.

These are the important life lessons and once you get to your junior year, you will mature a lot from freshman year. That happened to me and I am already in my senior year. Good luck!

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.
