10 Hopes For 2021

"When you have lost hope, you have lost everything. And when you think all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope."

Bring on a better 2021! We all had a stressful 2020 - BLM movement, the pandemic, celebrity deaths, job losses, - the list goes on. Here are some hopes I came up with for 2021.

1. The Pandemic will die down and vaccines will be administered more

Stay safe, get vaccinated, follow protocols, and this too shall pass and hopefully we will have a normal summer.

2. That Black lives are taken more seriously

Seriously, all lives matter - but stop attacking Black individuals, and disabled individuals, and elderly individuals - everyone deserves dignity and respect.

3. That people get better paying jobs in hopes of the pandemic ending

The fact that before and during the pandemic people get low paying jobs - there needs to be better paying jobs

4. That individuals can get the education needed to succeed

Education is expensive - I hope people who wants to get education have the funds and help needed to succeed

5. That we find more solutions for battling global warming

Solutions I hope are on there way - and I know some are already here - we need to act more on them

6. That people can afford health care

I have struggled trying to afford my own health care when I got laid off work - it's too expensive and things need to change- I hope more people can afford health care plans and they are made more affordable - where people don't have to live without health insurance as well

7. That police officers don't get attacked but that they don't attack innocent people as well

We need to respect offices but they need to respect individuals. No one is netter than anyone else.

8. That no one goes to prison for being falsely accused

I can't believe we live in a world where people go to prison for not even committing a crime. I hope the justice system steps up their game in positive ways.

9. That no one kills oneself due to hardships in society

Mental health issues are REAL and societal problems are REAL - We need to help each other out so no one should feel like they need to end their life or feel helpless

10. That the economy goes back up, especially for small businesses

SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES! They need to make a living.

I really HOPE 2021 is better - I hope everyone stays happy, healthy, safe, warm, and all the above.

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.
