Being A Child At Heart

Being A Child At Heart
Julia Montana

At 21 years-old, I am the biggest child at heart than I ever have been. As an adult, I love reminiscing about the obsessions of my childhood that filled me with joy, curiosity and passion. To this day, they really have not changed. The obsessions of my childhood mainly consisted of Power Rangers, Spider-man and the Legend of Zelda video game Ocarina of Time. I still cannot help but geek out over the revival and re-imaging of my favorite past times as a child. These topics forever left a lasting impression on my personality and helped create who I am today.

Holding onto the nostalgia of my childhood makes me appreciate the advancement of my favorite topics over the years but also effects the way I approach life. Finding joy in the little things that I come across me in life keeps me going. I get excited when the smallest of things happen and let it build my motivation and energy. My personality is based on the nerdy and geeky things in life and I would never change who I am. I am proud of my childish heart. Many of those who know me, understand that I am not too serious unless I need to be and that I will never grow out of my childish heart.

Having a childish heart lets me connect differently with my younger siblings, allowing me to bond with them over old and new trends but still be a role model. They see me carry myself with a light heart and a fun attitude that I hope I never lose. Being a child at heart does not mean I am immature or cannot function as an adult, it simply means that I enjoy things as simple as a child would and it is something that will remain with me forever.

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.
