In light of the Eagles finally winning a Super Bowl I feel as though everyone needs to know why Philadelphia is the best city. Sure, it may have a bad reputation in a few ways, but the pros out weigh the cons when it comes down to it.

1. It's filled with US history!

Mostly everything that made this country what it is started in Philadelphia! Even the Declaration of Independence was signed here!

2. We have the most passionate sports fans.

Our fans are known for being rowdy, and at sometimes disrespectful. When it really comes down to it our fans have a lot of heart. We certainly get frustrated when we lose, but we will remain die hard fans.

3. It's hard to be bored.

The amount of bars, restaurants, tourist stops, and concert venues make it hard to find something to do.

4. We're known for our cheesesteaks.

Tired of mediocre pizza shop steaks? Just take a trip to Philly and stop at one of the many popular spots!

5. The Reading Terminal Market.

This place has everything from food, to clothes, and even a book store. Some of the popular stops are Bassets Ice Cream, Termini Brothers Bakery, Beilers Donuts, and DiNic's.

6. The Art Museum is comparable to the Met and the Louvre.

It houses many iconic paintings from the most influential artists.

7. Boathouse Row.

This place is so beautiful. It's lit up at night, and has a great view of the art museum.

8. The Philadelphia Zoo.

This place is huge,and houses almost every animal you can think of. It's also America's first zoo!

9. Wawa.

Who doesn't love the best convince store?

10. We know our city is the best.

We take pride in having the best city in the world, and we hope you will too.

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.
