10 Reasons You Shouldn't Go To Emerson College

1. No one has ever heard of it

Especially not graduates like Jay Leno, Henry Winkler, Denis Leary, Bobbi Brown, and Kevin Bright.

2. Emerson never wins any awards

Unless you count landing at #10 on the Hollywood Reporter's Top 25 American Film Schools list, or being the #1 most LGBT-friendly school in the nation, according to the Princeton Review.

3. Living in the heart of Boston is so uneventful

There's never anything going on in the Theatre District, no one ever holds events on the Common or at the Esplanade, and there is absolutely nowhere to shop on Newbury Street or in Downtown Crossing.

4. The professors have too much real-world experience

They're so busy writing novels, being published in major newspapers, and working on popular TV shows.

5. You wouldn't ever want to study abroad

The castle in the Netherlands, the program in Valencia, Spain, and the LA campus definitely don't offer any enriching opportunities.

6. Networking is impossible

Besides The Emerson Mafia, which includes thousands of successful graduates willing to hook you up with jobs and internships, that is.

7. Nothing cool ever happens on campus

Ron Burgundy has never held a press conference at Emerson, there are no free screenings with special guests like Jake Gyllenhaal, and we never have impressive speakers.

8. Students are not at all involved outside of classes

They're only at incredible internships, leading on-campus organizations, pledging sororities and fraternities, holding film shoots, and getting published.

9. The people who attend Emerson are just like everyone else

There's definitely no uniqueness at Emerson. No one is quirky or original at all. You won't find Orientation Leaders dressing up and dancing, there aren't quidditch teams, and you'll never take classes like Love and Eroticism, or Writing the Film Musical.

10. Emerson students love their school too much

They're always talking about how happy they are and writing articles that prove their school is the best.

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.
