Instead of being a great college student and not procrastinating on my homework, I like to reread my favorite literature and this week's lucky novel was Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. That book offers so much wisdom, but my favorite line in the book is when Alice says "Sometimes, I believe in as many as six impossible things before breakfast." All the things that she deemed impossible were actually possible. Yes, in reality, there is not a potion that will make you shrink if you drink it, but I do believe that sometimes we get so stressed and overwhelmed that we forget what we're capable of and forget who we are. Sometimes, we just need a reminder of all the things that we can accomplish in a 24-hour time period so that we can conquer our list of "impossible things." Here are my six impossible things to:

1. For starters, you woke up this morning.

You made it through the night and have been granted another day to fulfill your purpose. So get out of bed and get after it. Do not let anyone stop you because ultimately, your fate is in your hands.

2. Laugh a little.

You may be stressed, upset or worried about something, but sometimes you just need to laugh. It is necessary. So take a deep breath and try to find something to make you smile. I'm sure there is some science behind that, but I know for a fact that it helps your soul.

3. "Smile and Wave, boys."

The Penguins of Madagascar may have been trying to sabotage the zoo and escape, but I view this slogan more as a don't let the small inconveniences dictate how you function for the rest of the day. Just smile, wave and move on, because things could always be a lot worse.

4. Take care of yourself.

This is extremely important. Take care of your physical and mental states. Work towards a healthy life in every aspect of your life, and this starts by finding things to enhance yourself daily. Treat yourself sometimes.

5.Find the beauty throughout the day.

Stay aware of everything around you and acknowledge the beauty and the art in everything you see. You have a chance to respond to the negatives in life by finding the postives so make an effort to try.

6. Remember to stick to the course that you're passionate about.

Some mornings when I wake up, I feel stuck. I feel like I'm repeating my days and weeks and they are beginning to blend into one. Wake up, eat, school, work, sleep, then repeat. But in the end, I have to remember that I'm working towards my goals every day. So, continue to work hard and the pay off will soon be near.

Remember these six things, and all things impossible will become possible in the blink of an eye.

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.
