On the first day of shopping, my family gave to me...

A list of impossible things!

On the second day of shopping, Winter gave to me...

2 feet of snow,

And a list of impossible things!

On the third day of shopping, Winter gave to me...

3 cars in ditches,

2 feet of snow,

and a list of impossible things!

On the fourth day of shopping, shopping gave to me...

only 4 parking spots,

3 cars in ditches,

2 feet of snow,

and a list of impossible things!

On the fifth day of shopping, shopping gave to me...

LINES TEN FEET LONG!

only 4 parking spots,

3 cars in ditches,

2 feet of snow,

and a list of impossible things!

On the sixth day of shopping, shopping gave to me...

6 cashiers crying,

Lines ten feet long,

only 4 parking spots,

3 cars in ditches,

2 feet of snow,

and a list of impossible things!

On the seventh day of shopping, shopping gave to me...

7 items missing,

6 cashiers crying,

lines ten feet long,

only 4 parking spots,

3 cars in ditches,

2 feet of snow,

and a list of impossible things!

On the eighth day of shopping, shopping gave to me...

8 screaming parents,

7 items missing,

6 cashiers crying,

lines ten feet long,

only 4 parking spots,

3 cars in ditches,

2 feet of snow,

and a list of impossible things!

On the ninth day of shopping, shopping gave to me...

9 children running,

8 parents screaming,

7 items missing,

6 cashiers crying,

lines ten feet long,

only 4 parking spots,

2 feet of snow,

and a list of impossible things!

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.

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.
