So, the "House Hunters" franchise is clearly a successful one; it just keeps growing. From "House Hunters International" to "House Hunters International Renovation" (see the difference there), the various versions of the show probably make up 95 percent of the HGTV schedule. The newest addition to the "House Hunters" family is "Tiny House Hunters" where literally crazy people choose to live in 600 square foot houses on acres of land because they want to be sustainable or live debt-free or have room to grow their garden to feed their veganism. Even the realtors are confused by what is happening and a quote on the show from one of them is literally "what am I doing here?" I also ask myself the same question when I sit on the couch and watch this television show that makes me irrationally angry.

1. Every time someone looking to buy a tiny house walks into one and remarks, "Wow, this is really small."

Or: "I know I am looking for a tiny house but this one is just really tiny." Well, yeah. That is literally the entire point of the show. I hate to break it to you, but for some reason you are literally electing to live in a tiny house. Tiny. T-I-N-Y.

2. Yurts.


Basically just everything about yurts irk me, especially the word itself. One woman on the show elected to buy her own building materials and build a yurt herself by bribing her friends to help her. It wasn't even a cost-saving thing. She just really felt compelled to build her own yurt. Like, yes hello nice to meet you, a fun fact about me is that I built my own yurt to live in. Also, a bunch of yurts together look like different sized ant hills and I can't help but imagine ants inhabiting them. Just say no to yurts.

3. The innocent people and/or animals affected by their parents'/significant other's/pet owner's strange need to live in a tiny house.


(Said no one ever about a tiny house.)

I've only seen three episodes of this show because it really grinds my gears, but so far, I have seen an innocent dog get dragged into his owner's crazy and a woman whose boyfriend sold their apartment so they could share a tiny house together. I guess props to you if your relationship can survive literally living on top of one another. But the thing that keeps me up at night is the mother and father who decided to uproot their family from Los Angeles and move to a tiny house in upstate New York. A family of six in a six hundred foot square house all sharing a "loft bedroom" (read: glorified bunk bed) and one bathroom. And one of those six is a 14-year-old girl. Love yourself people, please.

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.
