Dorm life is weird. You get thrown in with a bunch of people from all walks of life who barely know each other and just get left there for the next eight months. It doesn't matter if you get along with the people next door or if you absolutely despise them. You're stuck, so you might as well embrace it. Here are fourteen types of people you'll find in your freshman dorm.

1. The Kids That Throw Parties in the Common Room at 4 am

Some people get wasted on the weekends, others party sober in the common room at 4 am on a Tuesday.

2. The People That Never Sleep

You know the type. They're in the same place at 3 in the morning that you saw them before dinner and somehow they NEVER look tired.

3. The Best Friends That Never Shut Up

The ones that are joking and giggly before their 8 am, in the bathroom, in the common room, in the hall long after quiet hours started....

4. The Person That's Always There But Doesn't Live There

Whether it's the boyfriend that never goes home or the friend from high school who should probably be paying room and board, you see them more often than some people who actually live there.

5. The Kid That Never Leaves Their Room

The type you see only in your hall and only for a split second before they disappear and lock themselves back in their room.

6. The RA You Only Ever Manage to Run Into When You're in a Towel

You'll almost never see your RA when you're fully clothed, completely sober, and in a solid state of mind. It's a proven fact.

7. The People You Won't Know Live There Until You See Them at a Hall Meeting in February

I swear to you. I still can't recognize some of the people that have lived here since move-in day.

8. The Guy That Always Blares His Music No Matter What Time it is

Usually the guy on the far end of the hall who's music you can hear word for word from your room anytime you want to nap.

9. The Girl That Tells You About Her Sex Life Every Time You See Her in the Bathroom

And it's never a girl you're close friends with.

10. The Guy That's Drunk at Least 4 Nights a Week

Sometimes he knocks on your door in the middle of the night just to talk about his feelings.

11. The Person That Always Sings in the Shower But isn't Any Good at it

Who are we to judge, though?

12. The Guy That's Always High

And he's always with his high friends.

13. The Person We All Know is Always Having Sex

I mean good for them... But do we have to hear about it?

14. The Unfortunate People Who Live Right Next to the Person Who's Always Having Sex

They're the ones we feel the most sorry for.

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.
