10 Ways to have fun when you're your own best Friend

I know I'm not perfect but if there's nothing else I can say about myself I can say that I love who I am.

Take yourself out to dinner.

While I was in London, on of my favorite things to do was wonder into different restaurants and try something from their menu.

Go catch that movie you've been dying to see.

There's always at least one movie on my "to watch" list that none of my friends want to see.

Go Shopping!

I try to keep this one to a minimum, but who doesn't love getting new clothes? And, it's a great way to get you out of the house.

Check out some YouTube tutorials

Even if you totally can't figure out how they managed to get the perfect winged eye-liner, it's still fun to try.

Cook a fancy meal.

Or try. The fruits of your labor should make you proud.

Read a book.

Reading on the White Cliffs

Even if you can't do it on the edge of the White Cliffs, exploring a new world is still fun.

Make a fake YouTube tutorial.

I actually like talking my imaginary subscribers through my makeup or hair process. Sometimes I'll recorded myself, usually I don't bother.

Binge Watch Netflix.

This can actually take up an entire week. Please, proceed with caution.

Take some time and stew a little.

The quiet times when I stay in all day are always the days when a solution to a problem that I've been working on all week pops into my head.

Remind yourself that other people love you too.

As much as I love hanging out with me, I have some pretty awesome friends. It's always great to catch up with them.

You have to love yourself with yourself before you'll be able to love any one else. And I do love me some me.

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.
