I am a super-duper senior. By this I mean that I am on my 6th year of college, and finally graduating. That being said there are younger students that have experienced Spring break in ways completely different to myself. I never did the Myrtle Beach thing, or the Jersey Shore month of parties. I was a home stay, but this year, I'm flying the coop.

Even though I won't be doing anything 'exciting' for spring break, I won't be staying with family, be it my aunt who was closer to home when I went to school in PA, or my mom's house. I will be staying with a friend for a few days before taking off to CMA with the RIC radio station in New York City.

That being said, I have some expectations for what my week will entail. I do expect there to be lots of drunken young adults to take care of as well as some crazy attempts to have me cut loose. Being the Mom friend has some disadvantages, but not when people really want to party with you.

The strangest thing will be the fact that I'm not just staying at home. I'll be running around and doing things with people for once. Usually I just sit at home and read whatever I hadn't gotten a chance to read yet.

Now, this is not a complaint about being home, being at home is great; home cooked meals, and snuggles with siblings or pets. The hard part is scheduling. They still have work and school, and you don't, so there is a bit of an adjustment, but by the time routine is set, it's time to go back.

I don't know what this Spring break has in store for me. I know that it will be one that I have yet to experience, and that I will have a good time no matter what. But as my last Spring break, I can't help but feel that the pressure is on.

Tune in next week to see how it went, I guess. And wish me luck!

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.
