Who Wrote Better Material

"I read the news today oh boy, about a lucky man who made the grade" John Lennon, A Day in the Life. Those words are the opening lyrics to the last song on Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band. A lot of people hear those lyrics and believe it is the greatest lyric of all time because it shows how people lived in the 50s and 60s. Beatles fans alike always have an opinion on who is their favorite Beatle.

Growing up, I loved music, I knew about the Beatles at a very young age, but I really didn't get into them until 5th grade. My choir sang Sgt Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band. The more I listened to the Beatles the more I wanted to hear their material past Sgt. Pepper and even hear their solo material. I fell in love with Sgt. Pepper in May of 2007 and by August of 2007, I asked for Rubber Soul for my Birthday, I have seen Paul McCartney 3 times and Ringo Starr 2 times.

At first, John was my favorite Beatle because I liked how he wrote about what he was feeling and wrote great political material. My favorite Beatle song was " In My Life", but the more I listened to McCartney, the more fun I had listening to his music. To me, McCartney was all about having fun and enjoying his fans.

In A Day in the Life, Paul wrote a section that reads, "I woke up, Got out of Bed, Dragged a comb across my head." So in my opinion, Paul is writing for a day in the life of children.

The more I listened to Paul's Music, the more i understood what Paul was saying and futhermore, became a Paul Fan more than a John Fan. Still Love John, but Paul is my favorite

That was the great thing about The Beatles. Anyone can be a fan of The Beatles and it wouldn't seem weird.

If you had a 4-year-old who was into Black Sabbath and that kids parents didn't like Black Sabbath, that would seem a little strange, but with the Beatles. Anyone can really get into it.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
