There are organizations which work for a specific cause or a target apart from monetary benefits. These are known as nonprofit organizations. It isn't necessary for an organization to have only one purpose. Organizations can exist with more-than-one goals depending on their philosophy. A nonprofit organization is one which is 'not determined by profit but by dedication'. We can include trusts, advocacy, charity, environmental, and religious groups in addition to the trusts in the list of common nonprofit organizations. Nonprofits generally raise the money they tend to spend further on their mission and to keep the processes running.

Center for Pan Asian Community Services (CPACS) is one of those private nonprofit organizations, located in Atlanta. Their mission is to promote self-sufficiency for refugees, new immigrants, and the underprivileged through comprehensive health and social services. Also, founded on the belief "people need people," well that isn't wrong if we see on a broader perspective. Thus, CPACS becomes the first, largest and also the oldest organization in the Southeast keeping in focus the issues and concerns of Asian Americans but not limited to, especially of those women, children, and the families with low-incomes. Prem Baniya, a Nepalese journalist and social activist, joined CPACS in Jan, 2017 as a Program Coordinator, and has been helping out new immigrants, refugees, low-income families, and people who are less proficient in English. As a member of the advocacy team, Baniya advocates for social rights including the right to live, right to freedom, speech, and equality, etc. As an outreach coordinator and trainer, he also educates people regarding their rights while traveling. Baniya provides travel trainings and helps people to connect with each other.

Baniya has worked and continues working to bring real change for the needy people, society, and the nation altogether. He wants to see smiles on the faces of these people and also wants to plant the seeds of true happiness in their lives.

As a journalist, Baniya surely understands the condition of these people. Therefore, in order to make it better for them, especially the new immigrants, refugees, and low-income families he has devoted his work to them. His profession as a journalist made him realize what he should aim to do in life, and the steps that he needed to take in pursuit of his newly found goals.

Baniya is a multi-dimensional, talented, and robust personality of Nepal. In addition to being a successful journalist, he has also been engaged actively in communication media in Nepal for around 16 years. Furthermore, he is an influential writer and a productive social worker.

Nonprofit organizations rely on the devotion of their employees who firmly believe in their cause. Prem Baniya is an excellent example of a striving employee making sure to fulfill his life's mission, aligned with that of his nonprofit organization.

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.
