For as long as I can remember I have always been interested in blogging. I always thought it was so interesting and inspiring that there are individuals that are brave enough to share even the most intimate detail of their lives with the public.

I always thought of myself to be a very strong minded person and I am not one to show my insecurities, but I did find myself holding back from a lot of opportunities because of them. Growing up I always had an idea of who I wanted to be and what I wanted to do with my life, but the thought of failing always held me back. Till one day I thought that if I do not work for what I want I will never overcome these fears and I will never become who I want to be. That is why I finally decided to chase my dream of becoming a blogger.

Being a blogger has allowed me to grow in so many different ways. While my blog is relatively new, it has given me the confidence that I have been lacking my whole life. Being a lifestyle blogger gave me the chance to create something that is completely mine, it gave me a voice and it helped me find who I really am.

We grow up following rules and having someone telling us what to do. We become dependent on others. One of the things that I love most about blogging is that I create my own rules and guidelines. Creating something that is completely yours teaches you how to be an independent, hard worker.

Blogging gives you the opportunity to network with so many amazing and inspiring individuals. In the blogging world, everyone goes through the same struggles and we all help and motivate each other. Networking is a crucial part in creating a business or a name for yourself because it helps others and the public to get familiar with who you are and your business.

While blogging itself can be a lot of work, when you are doing what you love, you don't see it as work and by enjoying your "work" you put in 110% percent more to make it bigger and better than what you had originally envisioned.

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.
