Yes, it's that time of year again. It's time to change our calendars from 2016 to 2017. It's that time of year where it takes us 6 months to finally get the hang of writing the correct year on papers. It's that time of year where we get to reflect on how many friends we have lost or made along the way, or even reflect on the way that God brought us through another year. We also can have the opportunity to see how far that we've come as individuals and see how much that we've grown.

I think that it is important to have goals or even a simple bucket list for this upcoming year, because it can allow us to get out of our comfort zones and seek the adventures that this life has in store for us..

Here is my bucket list for 2017:



1. Survive my maid of honor speech for my sister Brooke's wedding in September.

2. Become a pro at stick shift.

3. Change a person's life for the better.

4. Pay forward for someone's food in a drive thru.

5. Fly on an airplane.

6. Stay up for 24 hours straight.

7. Tent camp again like we used to as kids.

8.Visit my grandparents every chance that I get.

9. Road trip with someone I love.

10. Visit a state that I've never been to.

11. Shoot a gun.

12. Attend another Christian concert.

13. Mend an old friendship.

14, Grow closer to Christ,

15. Go horse back riding.

16. Visit a water park.

17.Stop worrying about life and fully trust in God.

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.
