A thank you to my big sister...

"A sister is God's way of saying He doesn't want us to walk alone."

A thank you to my big sister...

When I was younger people always told me that one day I'd be thankful to have a sister or that eventually we will actually like each other. I never believed these people, because we were so different. We fought like our lives depended on it and the teasing was constant. Your senior year I couldn't even wait for you to graduate and go off to college. The ironic thing about all of this, is some time in the past few years, you actually became one of my favorite people.

When I needed to get out of our hometown you let me come stay with you. You introduced me to your friends which are some of the most accepting people I have ever met. My first year of college was rough, but you were always there to help me when I needed it. You are the only person I would hang 500 feet above the ocean for or ride a jet ski in the middle of the ocean with. You are the most adventurous, genuine, and compassionate person I have ever met. You are also determined and passionate and I cannot wait to see how that correlates to your dream job.

All I can say is thank you. Thank you for loving me when I didn't love myself. Thank you for constantly believing in me and supporting me. Thank you for defending me and always being down to go eat. Thank you for making my first year of college easier and pushing me outside of my comfort zone. Thank you for being the best big sister I could've ever asked for. I will always be proud to be your baby sister.

I love you to the moon and back.

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.
