Another year has come and gone and cuffing season is back in full force. Don't know what cuffing season is? Sure you do. Picture it: the weather gets colder and it starts to get dark earlier.

Next thing you know everyone suddenly has a boyfriend/girlfriend seemingly out of nowhere.

Couples are spotted all over campus or on Instagram and you are left ~uncuffed~ yet again. As a girl with 20 years of uncuffed experience, I've comprised a list of 10 things I'll be cuffing this season instead of a boy (unless one wants to change my streak? no? just checking).

1. Your dog.

They'll always cuddle with you, play with you, and listen to you no matter how long you drone on for. Dogs>boys any day of the week.

2. Mozzarella Sticks

They come in all shapes and sizes and will always make you feel warm and loved. Also, hot cheese can definitely cure anything and won't ever break your heart.

3. A Boyfriend Pillow

Need I say more?

4. A Justin Bieber Poster

Baby Biebs is the key to my heart. Blast some throwback jams and I swear you'll be one less lonely girl (see what I did there?).

5. A New Netflix Series

This is great for all levels of commitment. If you wanted a short cuff, choose a show that's one or two seasons long. Interested in a long-term cuff? Go for that 8 season show.

6. 90s RomComs

Get swept up by all the classics like She's All That, Clueless, and 10 Things I Hate About You. Sure, it may make you more depressed but watch them anyway. Heath Ledger will save your soul.

7. A New Sweatshirt

A little retail therapy in the form of a brand new sweatshirt is better than a boy any day. That new sweatshirt feel is warmer than any hug (except maybe from Zac Efron but that's TBD).

8. Water

Stay hydrated with water if you can't have love. Clearer skin, more energy, and it can improve your mood? I'm sold.

9. Halloween Candy

Stock up on your seasonal pumpkin shaped favorites. Halloween candy weirdly lasts forever so buy in bulk to extend your cuffing season all year round.

10. Your Bffs

Probably the most obvious of all, your gfs will always have your back and make anytime a good time when they're with you. Choose a quality night with the girls and you won't regret it.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
