An Appreciation Of My True Love

Just trying to describe that special feeling that can't be ignored.

An Appreciation Of My True Love
www.autostraddle.con

HA- you thought this was going to be about a boy. PLOT TWIST. I don't believe in true love. The closest thing I've found to true love (beside Jesus's love for me) is the euphoric feeling of walking into a Chick-Fil-A. I've had one of the most troubling weeks of my life, but the one thing that stayed constant through this storm was Chick-Fil-A. Now, before you attack me for false advertisement, know that it was for your benefit so you would click on this and hear me out. My only hope for you is that one day you feel the same way about Chick-Fil-A, and maybe my words can lead you to this place of peace and comfort.

Whenever I feel sad, happy, angry, joyful, frustrated, content, upset, (or nothing at all), I go to Chick-Fil-A. Let me tell you, it is the most comforting place to be when you're in any state of emotion. The smiling faces, the instrumental worship songs, and the smell of fried chicken all contribute to the peaceful, zen that overwhelms you as soon as you walk through the door. I am fully convinced that 12 nuggets, fries, and a sweet tea are the perfect meal to turn any day around or to make a good day great.

I'm pretty sure the people at the Clemson Chick-Fil-A have legitimately started to recognize me. BUT I AM NOT ASHAMED. I EMBRACE IT. My biggest ambition is that one day, I'll walk in and the cashier will say, "Oh, hey, Catherine! The regular?" And I'll say, "No, [insert employee's name], let's shake it up today and make it a Cool Wrap."

Also, Chick-Fil-A is a freaking smart company because they just came out with one of their most brilliant marketing plans- The Chick-Fil-A app. If you don't have and actively use the Chick-Fil-A app already, you might as well never talk to me again. It is a God send. I swear that Jesus himself was like, "Man, the world is so messed up right now. I need to send a beacon of hope." Then, he went over to the Chick-Fil-A in heaven where S. Truett Cathy is currently working and said, "Mr. Cathy, drop that chicken sandwich, I need your help with a very important project." And thus, the Chick-Fil-A app was born and we were all showered with Chick-Fil-A treats.*

So, thank you, Chick-Fil-A, for all you do for me and everyone else in this blessed nation. Thank you for being a comforting refuge, a meal saver, a best friend. I love you forever, CFA.

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.
