Attainable Peace

Peace is attainable, only if you look within.

Attainable Peace

Dear reader,

You read this letter to yourself silently. Maybe as you scroll through your phone or laptop, doing who knows what. That’s the life. This is a letter to you, to everyone that the world loves you.

I know you have anger on the inside, everyone has anger. But that anger can easily be resolved. Take a moment. Take a step back. Take a breath. And for once take something for yourself. Or give something. Because though you might be giving something to someone else, you are still giving yourself a sense of personal pride.

Learn to love. Learn to love the small things in life. Like the familiar smell of your home, or maybe the stupidly annoying bark of the neighbors dog. It may be annoying but when it isn’t there you always know.

Learn to learn. Everyone these days is so caught up with the internet and the idea of being able to know things by searching them through the web. That isn’t learning. Learning is going out there, discovering new and outrageous things. You can memorize and read all about other languages but you can’t learn it without immersing yourself in it. You can hear all about love and passion through these great and spectacular stories but you can’t find it unless you get out there. All those things you find on your bright little screens in dark rooms, those are stories other people are telling, those are things others are learning. Set it down and go, tell your own stories, take the time to learn the world around you.

Learn to have hope. The world is bleak, and dim, and even a little sad a the moment, but yet, there are still people out there who shine bright in this smoag that lays heavy across our lives. They do small things, miniscule things no one sees but one by one they brighten someones day. Pass it along. Be that someone who can find that small ember of hope and let it ignite and flourish inside you. From there, as fire does, it will spread from you to everyone you love and know.

Lastly, learn to be you. Learning to be you is more than what it seems. It is acceptance of not just yourself but everyone else around you. That you are comfortable and happy with your life that you have no need to consider how someone else lives theres. Learn your flaws, your perfections, learn every little thing because that is an attainable peace. A peace everyone asks for but never realizes it is in their reach.

Goodbye,

Sincerely, ---------------

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.
