10 Things I Would Rather Have Than A Million Dollars
Quotesgram

1. A supportive family.

Who needs a million dollars when you have a family that you know will love you unconditionally? To me, this is worth more than money could ever buy.

2. Close friends.

Friends and family truly are everything. A good support system is crucial to living a life that makes you happy and touches others. Your support system would never really be complete without good friends by your side.

3. A loving boyfriend.

What would I do without my boyfriend? He is my number one fan, my best friend, and a part of my family. He will forever be my rock and my guiding light. If you find someone who makes you smile when he walks into a room, don't let him go.

4. A cat.

Cats are one of God's greatest gifts to humankind. My cat is an angel. She always knows when to come cuddle with me, she keeps me warm and dries my tears. I wouldn't be half the person I am today without her by my side, or should I say, on my feet.

5. A dog.

Not everyone loves cats, but almost everyone shares a mutual love for dogs. They are like little (or big) rays of sunshine that view their owners as the purest and perfect humans. They can really do no wrong, in my opinion.

6. Respect from those who know me.

I have worked so hard to be the person I am today. And part of that is keeping up a respectful image. I want the people I respect to respect me in the same manner. I want to be someone who parents use as an example for their children, and who my peers look up to and follow.

7. Good grades.

Part of being a respectable and happy person is keeping up on grades and schooling. I would rather have all A's than a million dollars, because, with those A's, I could earn a million dollars myself.

8. I would rather make a difference.

I want to do something that makes a difference, and be known for that. To me, that is so much more crucial than anything else in this world.

9. I would rather be known as someone who cared for others.

I strive to be compassionate and be known as someone who is. In these times of division, I strive to be there for everyone and anyone who needs it.

10. I would rather change the world.

And I hope someday I can look back on this with a smile and know I did everything I could to do so.

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.
