A New School Year At VCU

Here we are again, in the midst of a new year at college. Considering the past years have flown by I plan to make this one last a little longer. I want to make more memories, have unforgettable nights and maybe less nights that are a little fuzzy. I want to take more pictures, eat more pizza, and truly enjoy living with my best friends.

I am sure there will come some point this year where I am in the library stressing out. Possibly on the verge of a mental break down, maybe in the middle of one. Who knows honestly, its the element of surprise that really makes the stress genuine. I hope this year I wont actually write down in big letters, “SPRING BREAK” in February instead of March (Oh wait, I already did that). I wont lose the caps to my highlighters. I will remember to print things at least 24 hours before they are due and maybe, just maybe, I will always have a pencil for scantron exams.

I hope to make incredible memories with my best friends. We will save every snap chat story so we can relive our nights out. We will take pictures at the beginning of the night, when we all look nice. And yes boys, that includes you, you'll have to force a smile in more this year. We will try new restaurants and make new friends. We will go on adventures when we are suppose to be doing our homework and regret it later that night. We will have fun, this is the time of our lives and we will take it all in.

I am also going to work my ass off. Even if I don't want to believe it, I am sort of an adult. I'm going to work hard at my job every week so I can pay rent. Even though I'm broke as shit after the 1st of the month there is little pride in there in somewhere that I earn the right to live here. When I worked a double shift and my swollen feet are climbing three flights of stairs to get to my living room Ill be greeted by my roommates who have already ordered pizza and are ready to watch the Bachelor.

Maybe none of this will happen or maybe a miracle will occur and it will. Regardless, I know a perfect year isn't easy to achieve but I will be totally satisfied trying to make this best of this next year.

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.
