Lord I had my Share of dark dayz/ feeling like I'm going crazy/cause as of lately I've been very lonely... Driving in the right lane going the speed limit of life/ As my peers catch road rage and pass by... Flick me off and scream Y.O.L.O. my guy/ Dear lord.. I'm in a dark day/ Even though the sun rays/ even if it's sunny without a cloud in the sky/ the tears that I cry bring severe thunderstorms; dark clouds form.. lord why is it that as of lately my forecast has been dark and gloomy? I'm traveling in life the speed you told me to travel.. I know that my walk with you ain't as easy as I thought of... Gave my life to you at the age of 17... Happy as I could be feeling free! Yet soon as I left church the enemy master plan started to wage/ as i fought the very temptation that you told me you'll save/ Lord I had my share of dark dayz/ feeling like all that's left is dark dayz/ I'm 23 feeling like I'm living my last dayz/ And I try not to speak it/ But death stay in my thoughts so long that i'm starting to believe it/ my dreams? will I achieve it? Or will I see it? grow into the most beautiful thing; and God made it/ Like part of me is happy and part of me feel sorrow... Take love for an example cupid's arrow shot me but the effects ended up traumatic I'm still lonely and still in the dark dayz that I know all too well of/ I'm sitting here praying for money knowing it's the root of all evil/ maybe cause I can pay for sin & and not salvation.. what profits a man who gain the whole world & lose his soul? dark dayz some more... Severe depression galore/ Lord just one time could you just pick me up from the floor? Take me out the dumps... Wrap me In your holy arms and caress me till the pain is gone/ For 23 years been having the same pain play the game as I scream; can't cry no more lost water works for sickle cell when I turned nine in this hell on earth/ feeling even worse/ the thing I fear the most is me dying and having no children that'll be crying.. At the funeral as they see Q smiling looking peaceful because living that life was a challenge/ Or having a wife that's going to miss me as I leave zion/ My worst fear Is dying.. Is it going to hurt? Is there even a heaven? Don't get me wrong I believe but help my unbelief as well. I just want to live as long as I can and when I die I pray the words I've formed with this pen live forever and It bless the next one who having dark dayz okay? Dear lord I had my share of dark dayz/

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.
