5 People You Forgot To Thank

In our busy lives it's extremely easy to forget to say a simple "Thank You" to some very important people. "Thank You" is one of those sayings you should never get tired of using.

1. Your Parents

The people/person who taught you to say the two simple words that will stay in your vocabulary for the rest of your life, are the people who don't receive as much thanks as they should. Every once in a while, there's no harm in giving your parents a hug and telling them how thankful you are for all they have done for you, because they have made immense sacrifices for you to be where you are today. I guarantee those two words, that your parents introduced you to so long ago, will brighten their day in the best possible way.

2. God

This may not apply to everyone, but if you do belong to a religion, then whoever you worship/follow etc, it's also important to thank them however you need to. Whether its in prayer, song, or ritual its always freeing to take a moment and thank that higher being for blessing you with the life that you live. Personally, I believe that those 'thank yous' do not go unnoticed so say them as often as you can.

3. Your siblings

These are the people that you bicker with the most and even dislike most of the time, but at the end of the day, you know that they will always love you and you will always love them. Be the bigger person and throw them a thanks for that time they didn't throw you under the bus in front of your parents or when they also folded your laundry along with theirs, because they did not have to make any of those decisions to help you out.

4. Your best friend

There are so many reasons to thank your best friend. Thank them for dealing with your weirdness. Thank them for making you laugh and for being there when you needed them the most. A small thank you can go a long way in a friendship.

5. Yourself!

This may sound a little odd, but thank yourself! Whether you're in a really strong time in your life or you've hit rock bottom, thank yourself for all your successes, all your failures and everything in between. By thanking yourself and appreciating everything that you do, you are taking a huge leap to loving yourself and being the happiest you that you can be.

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.
