Battle Cry

"All of my fears, and all of my doubts are lacing their boots and grabbing their guns, the war is on now."

Battle Cry

One of the toughest battles one will have to fight is the one within themselves. It's a battle hard to describe because everyone experiences their own type of battles in their own way. Some come out winning these battles and others continue losing them, the question is how long can one keep going?

"Battle Cry" is not just the name of this article, but the name of a song from the hit show Empire.

"Battle Cry" is another world within itself. It's not another love song, but a song that talks about real issues within yourself. This is the type of song that you have to read in between the lines in order to understand where it's coming from.

Life is an everyday struggle, not knowing whether you'll rise the next day or not is a scary feeling. In this day and age, life is not so much about going on with your daily lives, but so much more than that, especially when you see someone's inside their head instead of outside. Fear is inside people's brains. There are many things that give us fear, but what if this type of fear doesn't go away? When you go to sleep you have that fear stuck inside your head day and night, you wake up and still have that same fear stuck inside yourself. Then doubt takes over love and it leaves you paralyzed. Not being able to enjoy the most beautiful things in your life, always wondering when it'll all be over or questioning whether it's all real. Deep inside you feel that there is no escape to all this madness and want to just explode and release something. In a battle within yourself, it feels as if you may end up losing the things most precious to you. You find out there what was fake and what was real.

"I will never lose this let whatever come my way, I am stronger than my rival and I will not fall today."

Such motivating words those are, words to draw strength from and words to defeat your inner self, right? For some those words means a lot and can change their entire battle strategy and some become victorious. For others they are just words hitting a brick wall with no effect whatsoever. To understand people with losing battles, you have go in deeper and search.

The war is on now, but the real question is can you end up winning or end up losing yourself?

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.
