If you're a Lehigh student who has lived in Brodhead, you know all about the struggles. Here are the 8 worst things about living in Brodhead.

1. "Oh...where's that?"

Since all other housing is literally at the top of the hill, Brodhead is often forgotten. Nobody seems to know where it is or that it even exists, honestly. The only perk is not having to walk up the hill at the end of the day.

2. Weekend hikes to Rathbone

Since Lehigh is like the only college campus that keeps one single dining hall open on the weekends, it is a 0.9-mile hike uphill to Rathbone. 2,000+ FitBit steps in case anybody was wondering - so have a cupcake on your way out. You deserve it.

3. The elevator is slow as hell...

If you're lazy like me, you know the struggle of waiting for the damn elevator to stop on every single floor before it finally gets down to you.

4. ...and it smells like pee

Enough said.

5. The "gym" is like 2 broken treadmills

Honestly, it shouldn't even be listed on amenities — you get enough exercise from your hikes to and from class anyway.

6. There's always that one room on your floor that plays sh*t music on full blast

You know exactly the horrible remixes I'm talking about.

7. The dining hall is disappointing 100% of the time

It's basically just an empty salad bar and 2 trays of food that nobody really wants.

8. There is a weird, distinctive smell in every stairwell and on every floor.

Mmmm, the sweet smell of the 4th floor.

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.
