Mean Girls was undoubtedly one of the most famous movies of the 2000s. People still continue to quote it, rewatch it and reference its scenes on a daily basis. Although it is a comedy, there are some sarcastic and even useful lessons we could all take away from this film.

1. There will always be "fake friends"


2. People will find out what you say behind their back at some point




3. On Halloween, almost anything is acceptable



4. Don't let anyone stop you from doing what you want to do

This is easier said than done, but it's possible with a little confidence.

5. You can't always trust everyone

There's going to be people you trust and people you don't tell everything for a reason. Figure out who those people are before falling into a crowd of them as a trust exercise.

6. Not everyone likes to be bossed around

From Gretchen Weiner's history lesson, we learn that it's not always okay for one person to be the boss of everyone. The Plastics, at times, seemed to be more of a dictatorship run by Regina George.

7. Ex-Boyfriends are off limits for friends

Sisters before misters. Let's hope most of us remember that rule.

8. It's ok to be different

Embrace your differences. The world would be pretty boring if we were all the same.

9. Trust the people who were there for you from the beginning


The friends that stayed by your side when no else did are the ones you should keep. Trust their judgment.

10. We all make mistakes...own up to them.

There's nothing worse than denying something you actually did with no remorse.

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.
