Although I Totally Dislike Corona-19

Don't get me wrong. I totally dislike Corona Virus-19. I dislike that this disease is taking over things. It's potentially hurting people all over the world. It's closed so many things. It's killed a ton of people too. It's canceled events and church services. It's caused me to lose literally both of my jobs. But this Corona-19 Quarantine has caused me to realize and remember so many things. I wish I could have been reminded of these things some other way. In a way that wasn't closing everything, causing people to be sick and die.

Corona-19 has given me a break. This is something that I'm terrible at. I have always loved being busy. I have loved being non -stop and going from event to event and place to place. I've loved every activity I'm involved in. I've loved every person in every group that I spend time with. I have gone from job to job even in a day with literally thirty minutes in between. But Corona-19 has caused me to mostly be at home. It's caused me to stop and think okay I've got nothing necessarily on my agenda what do I want to do? It's caused me to sit, think, rest, and start returning to old hobbies.

Corona-19 has given me time for more reflection, more prayer, more worship time, and more study time. It has really gotten me to stop, reflect, pray and listen to worship music. I listen to worship as often as I can normally but sometimes it would just be in my car on the way to whatever event or whatever job and home. It's given me more time to just be with God.

Corona-19 has given me more time to spend walking and being outside. It's given me some needed exercise and the time to do it. It's given me more time to spend with my puppy. I've had him since he was nine weeks old and April 4th he will be nine months old. I've loved our time together but Corona-19 has given me more time to spend with my puppy.

Corona-19 has given me a chance and time to go back to enjoying a hobby that I haven't had time for in the past. It's given me the enjoyment back.

So yes Corona-19 is a terrible thing. It's something doing horrible things. But in the middle of a quarantine, we need to change our viewpoint and mindsets. We need to look at the good things.

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.
