You Decided You Have Had Enough

Finding the breaking point.

You Decided You Have Had Enough
Brave Belle

That lingering question presses on the dimensions of your brain as you decided if you have had enough. I'm not talking about the kind of enough you feel after gorging yourself on turkey at Thanksgiving. I am referring to the kind of enough that infuriates your soul. The kind that brings you to tears over the thought that you let yourself get to this point.

You are so scared of the outcome that you try to over-rationalize the actions of yourself and others. The butterflies in your stomach are a constant reminder of an unmade choice. The decision you feel you have to make is insignificant in the great winds of life, but you orchestrate scenarios until you are living every one of them. But why? If you just listened to the voice in your mind from the beginning, you would not have put yourself through the days or months of agonizing pressure.

Here is the key (something I have and will continue to struggle with facing): You are only as good as you believe you are. I can sit here and try to convince you of how wonderful, smart and beautiful you are. Until you look at yourself in that all-telling mirror and BELIEVE you are fabulous, my words mean nothing. You have to decide you have had enough. It's easier said than done. Over the years, I have placed myself in situations where I had to decide if the relationship, goal or loss was worth the turmoil it caused my mind. I have had to overcome the feeling that I was settling. My Dear Friends, I challenge you to decide that you have had enough and I promise the risk taken is way more empowering than the settlement made.

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.
