An Open Letter To My Current State Of Mind

We will be alright.

An Open Letter To My Current State Of Mind

You feel like a ticking time bomb, don’t you?

I know this because my back hurts. I know this because I cannot sleep at night and I have to pump my veins with caffeine three times a day. I know this because I randomly have the urge to cry. I know this because everything is mushing together like clay and I find myself drowning in every issue, melodramatic moment and past moment that I cannot let go. But take a minute and let me breathe.

For you, just breathe.

The stress of the semester is caving itself in and we are both struggling. I know that we are supposed to know what pain and hardship are but at what cost? College is the major culprit and my heavy workload is crushing me into pieces smaller than I imagined.

My Current State of Mind, everything will come together and you can finally put yourself on snooze. You will be able to sleep soundlessly and dream the dreams that always made you happy.


Sometimes, I love the loudness of you because I know that you are alive and well. But now, your sound is dwindling and distant.

I want you to remember all that you have worked for and gone through is greatly appreciated.

You can do this.

All of the stress and inevitable tension can be destroyed. No, it will be destroyed.

We both agreed that we can do anything if we put ourselves into it. We both must dive into the wreck and find some sort of sanity during the intense portions of my life.

You shape my life and right now my life needs to be molded into something that isn't a puddle of goo. I believe in you.

My Current State of Mind, you and I will be alright. I promise.

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.
