My 2016 Resolution: To Stop Caring
Meme Generator

So there is one thing most people in their teens and 20s want and that is to fit in. Well this year I decided to change that. I decided to stop caring. I'm not giving up on caring overall. I will still put the same overboard effort in to school and other things that mean a lot to me. I'm just going to stop caring about what other people think.

Many times people base their whole lives on the image they want to give off. I have decided what I see when I look in the mirror is what matters. I may see myself completely different than other people, but now I have decided to stop caring. This resolution may seem quite different from most peoples', but again, I don't care. It is what seemed right to me. I am happy with how my life is going. Yeah I could be a little healthier; I could study a little harder; I could read more books, but none of that seems like it will truly make me a better person in the long run.

Doing what makes me happy and not paying attention to other peoples' perception has already made me happier in a short time. I have been more willing to step out of my comfort zone. I have volunteered to do things I would normally be scared to because I was worried about other people. It has been an amazing start to 2016 and I hope to continue making it better.

Like it or not, I just don't care!

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.
