8 Reasons Why You Should Be Proud To Be Weird

People always tell me that I am so weird. Maybe because I would sprint across campus just because I think it would be fun, or maybe because I would start dancing whenever I hear music no matter where I'd be.

Even though there is nothing wrong with being different, everyone tries to fit in because it's scary to be judged. Weird people are weird because they don't care what people think of them, and are being true to themselves. And being true to yourself is one of the nicest things you can do for yourself. If someone tells you that you're weird, you should be proud.

If you are weird, you're not just weird but also:

1. You Know Yourself Well

To be you, you must know you. You know what makes you happy and know what your opinion is. You are a great decision maker because you know you.

2. You Are Curious and Adventurous

Maybe you know how to ride a unicycle, play musical instruments, speak a couple languages, or how to bartend. Maybe you've been to different countries and seen other cultures. Because you are not afraid of doing something that's not normal, you've done a lot and would love to learn more!

3. You Are Funny

At a party, it's not that fun to look at people playing beer-pong, but it's fun to look at someone dancing like no one is watching! People will laugh at you and you laugh at yourself too because you are fun.

4. You Don't Mind Being By Yourself

Some people can't go to a cafeteria alone because they think that everyone is judging them, but that's not you. Some people can't even register for classes without their friends but that's also not you; you take whatever you want to take. Keep doing you!

5. You Don't Judge People

If you don't care what others say about you, why would you say something about others? You are open minded and accepting because that's what you had to be to accept your own self.

6. You Understand That Not Everyone Has To Like You

It's a fact. Haters gonna hate. Not everyone has the same taste as yours. If you think you are great, then you are great!

7. Your Friends Will Be Your True Friends

Because you are always yourself, honest and not shady, your friends trust you and appreciate how fun you are.

8. You Can Choose To Smile

Because you won't let anyone bring you down, you are in charge of how you feel. You are one of the strongest people

Stay weird and keep being you!

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.
