With all of the chilly weather, sometimes I can't help but dream of spring. Don't get me wrong, I love snow, the holidays, and drinking a big mug of hot cocoa while curled up on the couch binge-watching HGTV's "Fixer Upper."However, I'm a cold body -- meaning I am always cold. So it's safe to say that winter isn't my favorite season. With that said, I love springtime because of the beautiful blossoming flowers and vibrant green foliage. While reminiscing on nature's beauty during the spring, I took to the Internet in search for some of the world's most stunning gardens. Here are five that I can't seem to get off my mind.

1. Keukenhof Gardens, Lisse, Netherlands

This spectacular garden is regarded as one of the most beautiful and colorful gardens on the planet. Keukenhof contains a whopping 800 different varieties of tulips that cover approximately 79 acres of land. Over 7 million bulbs of tulips are planted annually, engaging everyone from flower enthusiasts to young children.

2. Butchart Gardens, Brentwood Bay, Canada

Ranked No. 3 by National Geographic in its list of Top 10 Most Magnificent Gardens, this public garden quickly grabbed my attention. Each year, 900 different varieties of over a million flowers are planted, blooming continuously from March until October. The beauty of nature is celebrated every season in the gardens. Even during the winter, Butchart entertains its visitors with its Magic of Christmas celebration that includes an array of Christmas lights, wreaths, ice skating, and festive dining.

3. Yu Garden, Shanghai, China

This mystical garden dates back to 1559 and is famously regarded as emerging from the Ming Dynasty. This serene garden offers marvelous views of exquisite flora and exotic stones.

4. Monet's Garden, Giverny, France

This garden actually contains two gardens that contrast and complement each other quite nicely.

The flower garden is named Clos Normand and is located directly in front of Monet's residence.

The Japanese water garden contains the famous Japanese bridge covered in wisteria that inspired Monet's Water Lily painting. Additionally, the water garden contains beautiful weeping willows, bamboo wood, and the stunning water lilies that bloom at summer long.

These beautiful gardens are open to the public, making them easy tourist destinations for all nature lovers. What's holding you back from visiting one of these beauties? Well, sure, time and money may be a little bit of a predicament. I guess viewing pictures on the internet will have to do for now!

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.
