What It's Like Being Sensitive

Yeah I'm crying. Why? I saw a cute dog.

What It's Like Being Sensitive
Jaek Song

Either you're stone-cold, or your heart is like a fragile bubble. For me, I'm the bubble. I love to act like nothing bothers me, when in reality, almost everything bothers me.

I'd never agree to anyone calling me sensitive, but in the end I have to admit that I am. The slightest tone change in someone's voice makes my eyes water. I can't handle being yelled at, or even yelling at someone.

Being sensitive doesn't mean you aren't tough, because I could still stand my ground and be firm about something. All being sensitive means is that you are a kind and caring person.

Even when I'm around someone who's yelling at someone else or being yelled at, I instantly cringe or my eyes water.

All of my friends are the exact opposite. They're the stone-cold ones, who can handle criticism well and yell for fun. Even my boyfriend is like that, which makes it hard for us when we argue. While it's normal for couples to argue, I have such a hard time handling it because I immediately start to cry.

Sensitivity doesn't apply to just being yelled at or criticized. Any romantic or sad movie or even Youtube video I watch can have tears rolling down my face.

People constantly are wondering why I'm crying or have watery eyes, when all that happened was a cute puppy walked by me.

If I catch my kitten sleeping cute or even just yawning, I can't help but get all worked up over how cute she is.

Sometimes it can suck being sensitive, but just remember that your heart is as big as can be!

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.
