5 Things We Need To Do And Remember When Life Gets Rough
Kaitlyn Craig

In tough times some people shut down, some people get depressed, and some people don't know how to handle themselves or the situation. I think that everyone needs to do these things and remember these things to make a tough times seem a little easier to deal with.

1. Turn To Him

Only God truly knows what you are going through. Only He can really help you get through the tough times. Yes, family and friends can help get you through but God can help push you through and show you the good outcomes.

2. Be Grateful For The Little Things

Sometimes we don't realize how blessed we are until the things that surround us, whether it be loved ones, possessions, living arrangements etc., are gone. We need to be grateful for the little things in life. Count your blessings everyday.

3. Lean On Others

It is good to lean on god and trust Him but you also need to trust in others around you and lean on them. If you are truly struggling ask someone for help. It doesn't matter if it is the smallest thing or the biggest thing. If the people around you are loved one and friends then they will be willing to do anything to help out. If they aren't willing then are they really your friends?

4. Try And Find The Good In Everyday

Instead of looking at the bad stuff in situations try and look at the good for a change. By looking at the good it could help you get through the tough times. You never know.

5. There Is Always Light At The End Of The Tunnel

It doesn't matter what kind of situation you are going through, there will always be a light the end of your tunnel. Push through and stay strong till the very end, there is always something good in the end whether you realize it now or not.

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.
