Between the late 1800s and the First World War, Coney Island became one of the most popular amusement parks in the North East. People came from all over to visit the various rides, restaurants and other attractions. However, after the war, the park failed to attract the big crowds. Recently I visited Coney Island and fell in love with the bright lights, warm sandy beach and unique crowd of visitors. Coney Island is an amazing place and should definitely be on your Bucket List of places to go!

1. The Beach

The beach at Coney Island is huge! There are so many things to do: playing volleyball, swimming in the water and just lying out, getting a nice tan.

2. The Art Walls

There's a section dedicated to these amazing art walls that are a must-see! Some are like graffiti, and others are just full of bright colors like this one:

3. The Amusement Park

The amusement park at Coney Island offers a bunch of rides for visitors of all ages and it makes for one fun day and a great night!

4. The Circus Side Show

There's a Coney Island Freak Show too! The audience is not able to take photos while the show is playing, but trust me, it's amazing!

5. The Boardwalk

There are so many shops with cute souvenirs and clothes as well as dozens of restaurants with amazing food!

To everyone, I recommend a trip to the all-American Coney Island. It's a great place to visit on a beautiful summer day!

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.
