The Things You Miss About MVL After You Leave

MVL

Whether you're a current student or have already graduated, you can't help but love these 22 things and will probably miss them after you leave.

1. Mr. Hermanson’s choir speeches

We were incredibly blessed to have you too.

2. Homecoming Dress Up Days

There aren't very many opportunities to dress this crazy in college.

3. Having the Senior Farewell Dance outside

Best dance of the year.

4. Kevin.

If only someone would be there to tell me "get to class" every morning.

5. The student section

No one does the roller-coaster cheer like MVL.

6. Being best friends with all of your teachers

You're supposed to act professional with your professors....and that's no fun.

7. Having friends in every class

You actually have to be nice to strangers in college.

8. Dessert Club/MVL cookies and donuts

EAT THEM WHILE YOU STILL CAN

10. The click-clack of Mr. Plath’s shoes

"INCOMING"

11. Mr. Morgan’s tracksuits

He inspired my entire college wardrobe.

12. The Veteran's Day program

Something you may not be grateful for until it's gone.

13. Lyceums for Spring Fever and Homecoming

Shoutout to Stud Co for always making Spring Fever and Homecoming some of everyone's favorite high school memories!

14. Our amazing band

I took for granted all of the incredibly talented musicians.

15. Homeroom

Friday homeroom was always looked forward to.

16. Seniors giving Chapel

I promise we were more interested in their message than this picture depicts.

17. Getting to eat lunch outside

Even if you got attacked by hundreds of wasps.

18. Having Study Hall with Mrs. Wong

Doesn't that smile just brighten your day?

19. Powderpuff

It's always fun watching the Seniors cream the Freshmen (or the other way around).

20. Cinco de Mayo Party

Probably the weirdest tradition at MVL, but definitely one of the best.

21. After Prom

It's basically the best sleepover party you'll ever go to.

22. Spanish Food Days

No homework and you get to listen to Shakira.

As you can see, MVL is a pretty special place. There are a lot of examples of why it's so unique...these are just a few personal favorites. Take time to appreciate your friends, teachers, classes, and overall experience at MVL. It's one you'll never forget!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
