My thoughts of the week, collected and written out.

Sitting outside on this beautiful Sunday morning, I remember the pizza I ate yesterday and weep into my coffee. For those who were unaware, at the beginning of my semester here I chose to abolish dairy and some other unhealthy things from my diet, and it has truly worked wonders for me. Now, I won't say it was not a challenge. To be honest, i never consumed high amounts of dairy beforehand, but the only thing that I find myself missing is cheese. Which is why I usually allow myself a cheat day where I indulge in a little something every now and then. This usually happens around every two weeks or so, however it has come two days in a row this week, and I am really feeling the after effects of it. I am sitting sluggishly, and hating myself for consuming the amount of pizza that I consumed with my friend over the past few days. However, I know it will be alright. I will power through this last week of class ahead, and stick strictly to my diet, and finish strong so that I may continue when I go home.

Anyways, enough about my eating habits. Something else I found myself wondering this week was how fast my first semester of college has gone. There is already only one week of class left. I have eight classes to attend before i move it, and that feels so good. I am ready to be home and working to make up some of the money I spent this semester, and save for next year. It has been a great semester, but this four month break could not come at a better time.

I wish everyone reading this luck on their last week of classes, and exams right after that! Now get out and enjoy the sun, it's supposed to rain most of this last week anyway.

-Jack :)

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.
