2019 And 21, An Update On My Life

As I mentioned in some of my previous articles, this year isn't going too well for me. I've had no energy, I've had to revaluate both my personal life and my educational life, and I might be depressed.

You think this would be a good year for me because I'm officially about to be 21, on the 27th of June. I also have a dream job and opportunity in the fall at my school. However, this job is an hour away and I get carsick just getting there, and from the sips of alcohol I've tasted, I don't really like.

The only good thing about 2019 is that it seems to be flying by. However, that isn't good for my summer vacation.

I'm not sure why this year isn't great.

Maybe because 2018 was such a good year for me. Hell, even 2017 was pretty good. 2019 just can't compare to it. Maybe because this year has the number nine in it, which has never been a good number for me. 2009 was not my favorite year either. And every TV show's ninth season is never good, Top Chef, Dancing With The Stars, America's Next Top Model, etc.

This year, I've been told something I've been working on for years is terrible, had major realizations about my sexuality and my education, had a pregnancy scare, and just haven't had any motivation.

Anyway, now that I'm approaching my birthday and the second half of the year, I'm hoping to turn it around.

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.
