Not everyone has the means to travel. We already know that the whole idea that “everyone can travel abroad in college” is a lie. Yeah, semesters abroad are more affordable, but majors and classes get in the way. Summers abroad are more doable time-wise, but the costs are often outrageous. If you get financial aid like I do, you may stand a fighting chance, but I’m still struggling to scrape the cash together. If you don’t have financial aid which means your parents are well-off, that still doesn’t mean their family has the extra funds to fork over to their child all willy-nilly. It’s cruel that it’s advertised like anyone can do it. If you’re suffering from wanderlust like I am, here are a few tips to placate your travel bug without breaking the bank.

1. Steal a car

Then you can go anywhere, basically for free. All you need to pay for is gas. Learn how to lock-pick on the internet and see where your dreams can take you!

2. Steal someone’s identity

If you commandeer someone’s life and credit cards, then anything you do is free. Besides visiting your dream destination, you can also buy that cute new top you’ve been wanting.

3. Sue the school

Mostly for false advertising. You might wiggle out of there with a few extra bucks. Who knows? Not me. I've never sued anyone. It's on my bucket list.

4. Rob a bank

People still do that, right?

5. Hijack a plane

Maybe don’t do this one.

6. Become homeless

Then the world becomes one big adventure because you don’t have a home to go back to. Take it from Squidward. He loved it.

7. Buy calendars

Lots of ‘em. They’ve got loads, highlighting pretty sunsets, national parks, and even mountains. Let your inner hiker shine as you look on those splendid, rolling hills.

8. Go the next town over

Anywhere new is somewhere new. This one is the real one guys, please don't do the others. Check out a new cafe, or go into that local bookstore you’ve always walked by. Grab a friend or go alone. Travelling doesn’t have to entail that you leave the country. Do some exploring in your own backyard.

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.
