Every Thanksgiving you can’t help but jump with joy imagining that full course meal since you’ve basically been living off cereal and ramen noodles for the past five months. However, you have to face the “fam” first. You’ve missed them so much but really wish you could just hide in the bathroom until they say “dinners ready.” Then when Papa asks about that boyfriend you’ve never had you can just stuff your face with a roll and say I’m getting seconds and hope he forgets by the time you get back. In reality, they never forget and you need to just face the facts that your family just wants to know everything about your life and ask you a million questions. So be thankful this thanksgiving that your family still ask you these annoying questions because one day you’ll surprisingly miss it.

1. “So do you have a boyfriend?”

Sorry, but no. I haven’t had one for the past 19 years, Papa, what makes you think I have one now?

2. “How are classes going?”

The typical answer you’ll reply with is “good” but in reality you want to say “I think about dropping out every day and I don’t think I can survive another, I feel like I’m dying on the inside so thanks for reminding me of the hell that I’m living in grandma, good to see you too.”

3. “Do you go to a lot of parties?”

Sorry Aunt Debbie, but I’m not going to answer this. You can answer this yourself, next question, please.

4. “How are your grades? You must be doing so well”

If you consider studying for 9 hours then barely passing well then yeah I’m doing well, sometimes.

5. “Do you miss high school?”

HA, nope. Now where’s the mashed potatoes?

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.
