Well, it’s February and you know what that means…it’s officially Black History Month! Yes, Black History Month is still a big deal for me even as an adult. It’s a time of learning, a time of reflection and a time to think about how far an entire race of people have come. But recently, there’s been a lot of shade thrown toward Black History Month. People have been questioning the meaning behind it asking what it’s supposed to do, if it’s even still relevant, and, my all-time favorite, why isn’t there a white history month? Well, don’t worry I’m going to address all those questions in what will be the first of a series of videos I'm making for Black History Month.

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.

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.
