"You can do whatever you want, you just have to know what that is. For me, it's Lucky Charms and TV." -Abed Nadir

1. Weekends dedicated to school-wide paintball competitions

Stress relief? Check. Strategy and competition? Check. Bucket-loads of fun? Triple check!

2. Taking Anthropology 101 with Betty White

Because, who knows more about life than Betty White? Personally, I'd be ecstatic if she taught any one of my classes. On Community, her name is Professor June Bauer, but no matter what she calls herself, she will definitely entertain and engage the students!

3. Random dances held throughout the year

Dean Pelton is always trying to engage the students in social events, and one of his favorite ways is by hosting school-wide dances. The themes range from your normal Halloween and Valentine's Day dances all the way to Transfer Student Dance.

4. Student-run Morning Show

Who doesn't love Troy and Abed in the Morning? If there were to be a student-run morning show on campus, I just might want to wake up a little bit earlier in the morning.

5. An interactive relationship with the Dean

Dean Pelton is an eccentric chararcter to say the least! He is invested in the lives of his students, especially the study group that is the show's focus, and even more especially Jeff. Dean Pelton loves to engage in student activities and bond with his students. I would love to have a more personal bond with the administration on my own campus. They become real people instead of just people you've heard about.

6. Dedicated study groups that last years

Finding a good quality study group in one class during one semester is difficult enough. To have one that lasts years, through multiple classes, would be the best thing to happen to any student.

7. Parodying TV shows and movies in real life just because you can

Who wouldn't want to bring their favorite shows and movies to life? Escaping the stress of school for a bit and immersing yourself into the life of one of your favorite characters can do wonders on the mind. And, it's a total blast!

8. Dioramas for class

Dioramas are everything school is about: hands on experience, imagination, creativity, and learning. It's much better than sitting in a boring room and listening to monotonous lectures every day.

9. Abed's documentaries

Participating in a cool documentary would be awesome. Maybe a new star would be discovered! Of course, the best films are narrated by Abed.

10. Building a blanket fort throughout campus

It's every child's dream! Imagine how incredible this would be. You could grab a book and some hot cocoa and chill in a corner, or have a movie marathon with popcorn and friends, or plan a huge pillow fight. The activities are endless, as well as the fun!

11. True diversity

Interacting with those that are different from you is an important part of cultural growth. To form bonds with these people can broaden your outlook on life in so many ways. The people at Greendale range in race: from White/Caucasian to Middle Eastern to Black/African-American. They are of different religions and beliefs: from agnosticism to atheism to Christianity to Buddhism. They all have vastly different personalities and a variety of interests. The interesting conversations and possibilities are countless!

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.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
