Here is a list of ten things that are bound to happen during your first month of college.

1. You meet a ton of new people.

The first month tests your ability to remember so many names.

2. You get attacked with reading assignments.

Oh, it's only one textbook chapter, can't be that bad... then you realize that's around 30 pages per night...per class.

3. You get your first good grade.

The confidence booster that makes you think you can have a 4.0 GPA in college.

4. You get your first bad grade.

Then you realize that 4.0 GPA is extremely far fetched.

5. You eat insomnia cookies, Chinese food, pizza and the list goes on.

Freshman 15, here you come.

6. You stay up way too late.

Yay freedom! Then you stay up till 1 a.m. and instantly regret the decision the next morning when you have to get up for an 8 a.m. class.

7. You join a club.

Getting involved is the best way to make new friends, find out what you really enjoy doing and join a club for it!

8. You feel homesick.

It happens to the best of us, but don't worry, Kleenex and a phone call make everything better.

9. You go out and get a taste of freedom.

Nothing like the first time you get to make your own choices without getting a text from mom asking when you are going to be home.

10. You make amazing memories.

New experiences mean new memories that you can look back on and laugh at like a crazy person at the most random times.

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.
