Change: The Only Constant In Our Lives

Why change is a really beautiful thing.

Change: The Only Constant In Our Lives

I am not the same person today as I was yesterday or even the person I will be tomorrow. I know new things and in the slightest I have changed. I have developed new thoughts, rations, theories and maybe even grown half a centimeter, but in a way I'm not the same as the day before or the day after. Though scary as the thought may be, there is something great about it; that is the beauty in the irony because the only thing constant is change. That change will be the only thing in our lives that is always there and inevitable.

Some people love change, some loathe it, some use it as a campaign slogan and others just accept it. Whatever it may be, it will always be there like a faithful dog, thus we should just learn to love it. In a way, it's a really good thing to learn to love. It's hard to accept because us as people have a hard time accepting the uncontrollable. Which is very evident considering we try to predict the weather. Weather is one of the most unpredictable and uncontrollable things and this speaks to the nature of people and how we have to have our way about everything. Though many people have done a lot through it and shifted and shaped the lives of many people. Such people were leaders of their time--headstrong people with a goal to see the world as it could be rather than what it was. Such people as Lincoln, Martin Luther, Rosa Parks and many others who could rally people in a common cause to change and change for the better.

Change can cause fear because as people, we are scared we will never find something as good as we have it now. In fact, I would even say it terrifies people. We cling on to the things in our life, trying to make sure that they always stay stagnant. The problem with conveying stagnant is that we never know the full potential of said things. Change is one of those things that requires the possession of hope. Change without hope causes fear, but change with hope can help to shape people and the world. Change isn't this thing to cower in fear over and it isn't something to settle for. Life requires it to grow and develop.

We must not spend our lives wanting to control the uncontrollable variables, but instead learning how to let them control us. Let ourselves accept that the only thing guaranteed in life is change and uncertainties. Knowing such things leaves a room full of open doors for ones life. Change brings opportunity and accepting so let other doors open. It only requires a person who has an open mind about life that knows the need for it.

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.
