A Letter to the Girl Who Thought it was the End…

To the girl who thought she was at the end… hey I know it might be hard to believe but just listen… it will all be OKAY! Right now, you are feeling lost, completely alone, and ohh so broken. You will be OKAY, you will find friends, you will feel a happiness like none other, and you will learn you are oh so loved… you will learn you have a purpose. All this hurt, all this pain will make sense one day… you will find peace. I know right now it's hard to understand why: why you, why does it hurt, why are you so unlovable, why can't you stand to see yourself in the mirror, why do you hate yourself? The answer is simple you aren't listening to God, you are lost. But one day when you think you can't take it anymore you will hear him loud and clear, he loves so unconditionally, so purely, he is faithful and never turns his back, no matter how many times you turn away from him, he LOVES you. When you think you are all alone he is right there, he is the only thing that allows you to keep moving forward, to live another day. So PLEASE listen! He is going to do some really big things in your life so pursue him at all cost. You will find happiness it won't be immediately but one day you will find a happiness you didn't think was possible. You will learn to FORGIVE those who have hurt you but most importantly yourself… because forgiveness is a personal decision. He will call you to do things you don't understand, so just listen, they will be the greatest experiences of your life. You will learn it is OKAY to be vulnerable with others, to let them see the real you. You will learn you are worth far more than the guy you think is "perfect", cause he's not and he is not worth it. You will find someone one day… maybe not today but it will happen. You will find REAL friendships and learn so much through them, they will push you to become the best you possible. You will experience heartbreak, loss and so many hard emotions but keep pursuing him, he will bring you comfort and peace that is found only in him. He will test you time and time again, so don't get frustrated trust the process, TRUST HIM! Follow your heart because he won't steer you wrong, keep listening and NEVER lose sight of him. Remember God meets you where you are not where you want to be, you don't have to change for him, just except him. He LOVED you at your worst so keep striving for more, to be better. Continue to love others, to be a loyal friend, because one day it will be recognized. There will be days it's hard: you will question it all… but trust me it's OKAY. You won't always feel like you are enough, but that's the thing about God, you don't have to be "enough" for him. So, get ready you are about to make the most IMPORTANT decision of your life… THE STORY STARTS TODAY!


Love always,

Creighton

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.
