She was idly thumbing a page in her notebook while coffee shop sounds fueled her. The hushed conversations surrounded her like buzzing bees. The lull of the steam wands and burr mill calmed her. It was in these instances, writing and creating away her worries, where she felt most at home.

She was not ready to settle. She longed to roam outside her mind and see the world. There's a furnace of these flames burrowed inside her rib cage, channeling the little girl heart within her. And her yearns for the world to be held in her hand grow by the day. A state of mind at home was not enough. It was comfort and release, but it wasn't her freedom.

A roar bellowed somewhere outside, and her attention snapped to the window as she tapped the pen in her hand.
The unknown had beckoned her with its outside voice. As its call caught her ear, she longed to follow it while gripping her fingers on her notebook. Her heart swelled, and even though it frightened her not being able to see the source of the roar, she stood from the wooden seat and packed her things.

The thoughts of her moving forward excited her, and though she didn't know where she was going, she followed the voice. She knew it would fuel the burning within her, and only then would she feel free from ache.

She would create as she roamed, but she would no longer be idle; so she kept walking toward her freedom.

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.
