The First 10 Things You Do When You're Home For Summer
Huffington Post

After months away at school, I think that we can all agree it's nice to finally be back home.

There are no more tests to study for or homework to do, so it is a perfect time to de-stress, even if it is only for a few days before your next commitment. Whether summer entails an internship, a part-time job or maybe just some downtime, the first week back is a nice reminder of all of the things that you know and love about your hometown.

So if you just concluded another strong school year, you probably will, or already have, done some of these things.

1. Re-place all of your belongings back into your room, or rather, struggle to do so

Essentially coming to the conclusion that you have way too much clothing and not enough closet space. You also have double of just about everything.

2. Spend hours on the couch with your doggies

I will hug all of you and never, ever let go again.

3. Eat an obscene amount of your mom's home-cooking

Finally, I am no longer starving. Too bad now I need new clothing that I already determined I don't have the room for.

4. Answer the question, "So how does it feel to be done with another year?" a hundred times

I'm numb to the feeling. I just want to cuddle with my dogs and not study for a few months.

5. Eat an obscene amount of food from your favorite local restaurants

How and why did I ever leave this town?

6. Post on social media about being done and/or proclaim your love for your bed

Just wait for all those students who post about their GPA's.

7. Snapping all of your friends pictures of your home and pets

This is the creature I Skype with ten times a week. Love her as much as I do.

8. Go back to your favorite mall and spend money you shouldn't

Sephora: how to go bankrupt with a smile on your face.

9. Refuse to put on real clothing for as long as possible

This will be my outfit for the next four months. Deal with it.

10. Spend hours in the living room with your family watching your favorite shows

Nothing is better than watching the same "Seinfeld" episodes over and over again with my mom, dad and three amazing dogs.

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.
