I miss you.

Dearest Little Brother

Hey you. I miss you.

It's been 2 months since you were last home for Christmas from your Marine training. It's also been 2 months since you've been away in Pensacola, Florida.

Even though we text every single day, I still miss you because I don't get to see you every day. It sucks because I can't immediately tell you something and get a reaction from you as quickly as possible. I have to until you are not busy before I can get your text messages. We video chat from time to time but then it's back to text messages. We don't get to see each other every single day. I don't get to tell you face to face about how my day went. We don't get to watch our favorite TV shows together anymore. Now we watch on different days and one of us has to wait to talk about an episode that we got so excited about.

I miss your face. I miss seeing you at home. I miss seeing you come into my room at random times during the day and bothering me. I miss all times we go out only because I make you go with me. I miss when I make you go outside with me in the dark because I'm too scared to go by myself. I miss us having sleepovers in your room and just staying up for a long time just talking about whatever. I miss all those bathroom fights where we would try to get to the bathroom first before the other. I miss all those sneak attacks that we would place on one another when one of us does get to the bathroom first. I miss all the fights we would have when we try to ride shotgun first. I miss all the times where we joke around with each other.

We laugh. We joke around. We cry. We fight. Even though we do all of these, I still miss you. I miss you because you're my brother. I miss you because you're family. I miss you because I love you. I love you, little brother. You mean everything to me and I wouldn't trade you for anything else in the world. I wonder when the next time we will be able to meet. We were lucky enough to have you come visit for Christmas and we missed you for our Chinese New Year celebration. I hope you will be able to come for our aunt's wedding but I understand if you are not able to come. I miss you so much and I yearn for the time we will be able to meet each other again. I miss you and love you, little brother!

See you soon!

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
