3 things I'm grateful for this year!

THANK YOU!

3 things I'm grateful for this year!

The year is almost over. And not a while ago, it was Thanksgiving, so why don't I write a small Thank you letter saying three things I'm thankful for.

1) I'd like to thank myself.

Of Course, people have helped me along the way, and I'm grateful for it. Especially my parents, who gave a roof over my head since the day I was born. Who also provided and care for me. Without them, I wouldn't be in this great country. Or my friends, that if it wasn't for them this year I could've dropped out of college. However, most of the credit must be given to me since I have made the final decision. I'm the one who has fallen and learned from my mistakes. And I'm the one I should be grateful to since I did a pretty good job being myself. Sometimes I need to blame myself and not others for the troubles I had, but I never regret it. Those mistakes made me who I am today.

2) I'd like to thank coronavirus.

No, I'm not thankful for the Thing that killed more than 15,000 people, especially my neighbors and some of my friends' family members. But what I'm grateful for is the lesson that it taught me. It taught that you should be grateful to breathe the sweet oxygenated air; that I last year wake up and have a great run in a crowded place. It also taught (or encouraged) my love for the art of science, such as DNA, how viruses behave, and how we can figure out a way to get rid of it. I hope it goes away to continue with my wonderful life, and I hope it goes away, making my life better than the first. Of Course, these are a dark time, but we cant up. We need to find the light.

3) I want to thank the internet.

The internet is a fantastic thing. Millions and millions of people get to experience the web. A place where people watch cat videos. A place to find your interest and hobby. There are millions of resources for job work and for studying. It could be a dark place where you can discover hideous things or a place where you can find beautiful things. Thanks to the internet, we are able to stay connected during this challenging time. I found more friends with the same interests and more friends that could help me with classes. I can't stand staying locked up in the house seeing the same four people (which I'm grateful to have them) repeatedly. But this couple of months has helped me connect and fight my depression.

If we are grateful to ourselves, our environment, and our loved ones, we can join and be stronger together. So when this Stupid pandemic is over, we could be happier and be together a little bit longer than we used to.

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.
