We Are All Part Of The Chaos

Every single decision we make today, affects the way the world turns tomorrow.

There's this theory I like to believe in called the chaos theory. This theory is based off the belief that one small action can cause a very large and completely different reaction. One of my favorite examples of this is called the butterfly effect. The butterfly effect states there is enough power in the flap of a butterfly's wings in New-Mexico, to cause an immense hurricane in China.

It's crazy to think something that seems so small and insignificant can cause such a life-altering event, but it's true. We are all part of the chaos. Every single decision we make today, affects the way the world turns tomorrow.

You can never get rid of the chaos, just like you can never get rid of feelings. No matter what you do, it'll always be there, surrounding you with every step you take, yet hidden in the shadows. We must begin to shine a light on these things and embrace them as much as we can.

It's easy to pretend as if we don't matter. It's easy to think what we say, what we do, how we act, don't have an impact on anything of importance. It's easy to act like the chaos isn't our fault. But, if you take a second to think about it, and I mean really think about it, all the bad in the world didn't just magically appear one day. We caused it. Humanity, politics, love, death, every single thing you can think of, even things you can't, have a cause and an effect. While living in this chaos, we have the opportunity to change it and make it as vigorous as possible.

Smile at that stranger, tell that person you love them, be kind to one another. You may not be able to control the world, but you can control your actions. All I know is this: if you make your actions ones that are good, and kind, and loving, then maybe, just maybe, that is what the reactions to these things will be as well.

Make your role in all of this chaos a virtuous one. Like many things, fear and hate may spread, but luckily love does too.

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.
