An Open Letter To My Negative Thoughts

You don't get to win.

An Open Letter To My Negative Thoughts

You always make my day worst.

You always come without no warning.

You come in waves and don't stop.

You always tell me bad things about myself.

You never encourage me.

I don't understand you.

I don't know why you always try and hurt my feelings.

I can't deal with the way you treat me.

When I am trying to be positive you try to be negative.

Negative things are all around us. Mine are in my head.

Thinking about negative things are easy. Thinking about positive are a struggle. It doesn't make sense to me.

When I am having a good day and something goes wrong I instantly think negatively then it's hard to go back to being positive. When I am having a bad day and there are good things happening to me it is still hard to be positive.

I don't think negative thoughts should win but they do.

When I am laying in bed and one thing starts to bother me the negative thoughts are like a bullet. They keep coming and coming and they don't stop until they hit you.

I don't understand why thinking negatively is so much easier.

Negative thoughts are like a snowball effect once they start they don't stop. They just keep getting bigger and bigger.

I don't understand how I can think of something negative before thinking of something positive.

My negative thoughts will drown out my positive and take over. I will start to have so many negative thoughts that I can't even think straight. Negative thoughts just don't know when to stop.

My negative thoughts are annoying. They come even when you don't want them to come. They don't care if you are having a great day or bad day.

My negative thoughts will stay when I want them to leave.

My negative thoughts love to bring up the past sometimes.

Negative thoughts are like that one thing you can't get rid of.

But you know...

I will get rid of my negative thoughts.

Negative thoughts won't be able to win one day.

Negative thoughts won't be in my head anymore.

Negative thoughts won't be my problem anymore.

One day I will be able to stand up to my negative thoughts.

One day I will be able to get out of my negative mood and turn it into a positive mood.

Day by day I will get better.

I will fall and fail then fail 8 times more then get back up every single time.

Because why should the negative thoughts win.

Why can't the positive thoughts win?

I am tired of my negative thoughts overpowering my positive thoughts.

I am tired of always being and thinking so negatively.

One day it will be easier to think of positive thoughts than negative thoughts.

One day my negative thoughts will lose and my positive thoughts will win.

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.
