Today's society has deemed it unacceptable to show emotions or "have feelings." The constant trend of being heartless has consumed the younger generation and caused many to not be in touch with their inner selves. So, to anyone deemed too emotional or too sensitive, this is the perfect read for you.

As human beings, emotions are inevitable and that is perfectly okay. Emotions allow us to feel the various internalized hardships that we keep inside. These hardships can stem from the death of a loved one, a tough breakup, or an altercation that is merely a piece of the past. Regardless of what this tragedy may be, there is no rule stating that an individual must simply "suck it up" or "deal with it." The only issue is: sucking it up and dealing with it leads to another generation of the blind leading the blind.

Aside from internal hardships, being emotional allows an individual to have a true understanding of self. An understanding of self is vital in order to effectively guide others. Internalized issues can sometimes cause others to lash out on those who are just trying to help. It may not be personal on your end, however, it can cause others to stray away from you. However, mastering the art of being emotional can give some of the best outcomes.

Accepting emotions for what they are to you and not anyone else is one of the best forms of self-love. Not only will you feel better, but you can subconsciously help those around you begin to truly understand you for who you are.

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.
