What is crying? Each individual person may have a different definition of what crying is. Someone can say that you cry when you're sad; others may say you cry when you're really happy. Crying can also be tied to fear, exhaustion, and even stress. So when asked how often do you cry, what is that you are actually crying about.

Throughout my life, I have totally cried about many things. When you're a baby you will cry about almost everything. You don't know what's going on around you - you are confused. So what better way to handle it than to cry about it? Your body is letting everyone know that there is something wrong and they should try and help you fix it. When you're a little kid, new experiences can make you cry. Crying on the first day of school is a big step which can lead you to cry, missing your parents when they leave to work or maybe even feeling hurt by your friends are all reasons that you may cry. You are learning new things and starting to experience things on your own without help. It's a new path that you are going down and it can be scary.

As you get older, you might cry from sadness, maybe you broke up with your significant other or received a bad grade on an exam that you spent all night studying for. You may also cry when you were not accepted into your dream college or your dream job. We are still learning and still trying new things that may take our time and effort. It's a new journey that no one really knows what may happen.

It's a learning experience for everyone.

When becoming an adult, we try to keep everything hidden when we shouldn't. We are learning about who we will become and where our life will eventually lead to. We cry over our love lives and why we can't find our true love. We cry about our families, we cry about our friends, and we cry about our failures. We strive for greatness and if we can't reach it, we cry.

We are able to express our emotions through tears and motivate ourselves to become better.

Ever since we were young we learn. We cry because we don't understand. We are all going down our path of life. We are all different and we all experience new things. Crying shouldn't be looked down at. We are able to express our emotions through all of our emotions. We will be able to get a good cry in and move on throughout our lives. We will be able to become a better us. So why do you cry? How do you express your emotions? We shouldn't bottle our emotions up. We should be able to freely express what we are feeling and crying is one of those options.

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.
