Finals are approaching, the sun is going down earlier and it's getting colder which only means one thing: it's almost time for college kids to return home to their families for the holidays. Going home for some is their saving grace and for others, it's the time they dread every single year. There are pros and cons to going home and if you're gearing up to return to your homeland by plane, train or car then you'll definitely be able to relate to things you experience as a college kid going back for the holidays, as told by the cast of Friends.

1. Eating your mom's home cooked meals instead of dining hall food

2. Seeing your old friends again and reminiscing

3. Getting asked by every family member if you have a girlfriend/ boyfriend and how school is going

4. When your ex asks to see you

5. Reliving your childhood memories in your old home

6. Seeing your dog

7. Trying to live off your parents' dime again

8. Finally relaxing for hours with no demands


9. Realizing there's actually nothing to do in your hometown

10. But you know you'll be back soon in your favorite place with your favorite people

I just can't wait to see my dog, not run into my ex and eat a home-cooked meal. The holiday season is almost here and I'm ready.

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.
