I'm one of those people who wants to look good and to be known for looking good. For example, one of my good friends, Jenna. Jenna has the quirkiest style, she has a corny and somewhat nostalgic style with a touch of boho.

Makes no sense, I know. But it works.

Everyone loves it and she doesn't even have to try anymore, it's an established style.

I'm envious.

Then there's me, with the ever-evolving style depending on my income.

1. Emo - Middle School 6th grade

This was actually disgusting, not only was I poor (So I couldn't establish the style with my clothing), but I couldn't apply eyeliner. It was actually horrendous. Someone should've called the police. It was a hard time for me.

Luckily this was short-lived and I gave up.

Thank God.

2. Quirky - Middle School 6th-9th grade

It was atrocious but a lot better than the emo style. Crazy fluorescent socks and T-shirts that go along the lines of, "Rawr means I love you in dinosaur". Or my favorite, the ketchup and mustard bottle saying, "What's up dog?" to a hot dog- I lost that so long ago.

3. I tried to establish skirts and dresses as my own style - High school 9th-11th

This one has kind of meshed with my "style" now. Except for skirts, those fly up too much. The quirky style was embedded in there too, it was sort of a mess.

4) Florals and premature bohemian - High school 11th-12th

This was around the time my mother stopped buying my clothes and I began to have a sense of my own style. The bright colors have been thrown away from my wardrobe and become warmer or darker. A lot of floral textiles and a lot of tunics.

5. Vintage bohemian with textiles. Freshman year- to current.

This one is more diverse. I pretty much wear the same color scheme now: beige, brown, black and softer colors. Birkenstocks, oxfords, baggy pants. Crop tops and cardigans. Sometimes minimal clothing, it's a more body positive style.

6. Overalls! - Current

I've taken an appreciation for overalls. I own only three, two skirts and one pant. But they're widely accepted by my "style." The overalls collection is continuously growing.

I'll give this stage in fashion another four years, let's see if it develops into something unique.

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.
