A letter to my campers.

Dear my lil tater tots,

Thank you for allowing me to be your teacher this past summer. Thank you for the goofy laughs, the spooky stories, the many love-filled hugs, and the countless inside jokes we made throughout this summer. Know that I was almost in tears when you all wanted to move in with me for school. Thank you for sharing your candy with me from your lunches and snacks, although I never asked for any. Thank you for the many notes and drawings I received in this short time frame; thank you all.

You guys were my sunshine, even on my rainiest days. You were my silver lining on my darkest cloud. Although you enjoyed testing my patience and sometimes even my sanity, I would not trade any of you for the world. You all have shown me faces of strength, positivity, innocence, and perseverance. I am completely sure you all will grow up to be important members of society. Whether you all become lawyers, doctors, teachers, engineers, CEOs, or athletes… I will always be proud of who you are and whatever you become. I know all of you are capable of grand and momentous things, so I expect nothing less of you. Do your homework, keep your shoes tied, drink your milk, have at least three bites of your vegetables, give respect to receive it, and always think about others.

Know that just because Ms. Ana is moving, it doesn’t mean she is leaving forever. Know that just because I will not be there every day after school that I am not thinking about you. All of you will always be in my thoughts, in my prayers, and in my heart. I love you all and hope to see you grown up next summer. I know big things are coming your way! Enjoy the school year and yourselves.

With much love,

Ms. Ana

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.
