The Best Part About Sitting at The Kids Table

We've all been there, literally, we have all sat at the kids table at one point in our life. That main part usually being when we are kids, however my husband and I seem to always find our way to the kids table and have Holiday dinners with the youngest munchkins of the family.

It's really not that bad, no really the kids are fun to talk to and they don't ask too difficult of questions. Mostly things like how old are you and why are you sitting with us. It's not questions like when are you two going to have kids or have you been looking for a job in your field? Why can't you seem to find one?

Kids are sweet, sometimes they are a handful and sometimes you feel like you're going crazy because you can't really have an adult conversation with them. But it's a breath of fresh air and brings me back to a simpler time of worrying about the elf on the shelf or how many more bites do I have to take until I can eat dessert.

Moving on with the conversation specifically. I've been working with children up close and personal since September now and it has really helped me connect more with the children in my family. There is a certain type of conversation that is held when talking to kids, especially the younger ones. They want to tell you everything but they also want to know everything from you and what is going on in your life. End of story, Holidays are great and sitting at the kids table is pretty great too. I sit at the kids table every day at work so I guess I'm pretty prepared for the Holidays!

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.
