Always Say Goodbye, You Never Know When It May Be The Last

It's Monday morning, and I'm feeling sluggish. I put on a pot of coffee and hop in the shower. Taking my time drying my hair and half way putting on makeup, I see the time. Now Im rushing out the door paying no attention to what I am knocking over on my way out. I see my husband, but have no time for goodbyes. So instead of hugging him, I say "have a good day babe, Ill see you for dinner." Little do I know, this is the last time I will see him.

Everyday, someone goes through this. It happens in an instance. A car wreck or an accident at work could result in the last goodbye you'll ever say. A quote from The Fresh Quotes says, "A good-bye is never painful unless you're never going to say hello again." Hopefully none of you will experience this, but I have encountered three families that never got to say a real goodbye. Life throws us all hurdles, and we never know what to expect. Our morning could begin the most joyful day we have ever had or the most painful. Which ever it is, be sure to leave your home with a proper good-bye. Never turn down a kiss. Go out of your way to give a hug. Be a minute late because you gave your baby one last kiss and your wife one last hug.

It doesn't take much to make the ones you are closest to feel loved, but the minute you don't, you'll regret it. It's hard to walk through life never knowing, but God always has a plan. No matter what life throws at you, remember to always share your love, and give proper goodbyes.

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.
