I Didn't Love

Loving you was like jumping from a cliff. I knew it was wrong, but I tried it anyways to see what was at the bottom. The jump was hesitant, my heart stopped and my eyes were wide open. When I was falling I felt like a new me was being discovered. Along the way I would bounce and tumble off of different rocks. Those different rocks were the red flags that my friends told me about, but I didn’t listen. Falling wasn’t the painful part, it was the landing, hitting rock bottom. The end of you and me. I knew how it was going to end, but I jumped anyways. I guess you could say I was willing to fall, willing to see what a love could be. It was when I hit rock bottom that I discovered that there never was love.

I was never in love with you, I just lost my mind, I lost who I was.

I didn’t fall in love,
I fell for the way you looked at me.
I didn’t fall in love,
I fell for that soft button up shirt you always wore.
I didn’t fall in love,
I fell for that head of brown hair.
I didn’t fall in love,
I fell for the way you called me darlin’.
I didn’t fall in love,
I fell in love for the way you called my name.
I didn’t fall in love,
I fell for your enthusiasm for life.
I didn’t fall in love,
I fell for your truck.
I didn’t fall in love,
I fell for the way your sweatshirt smelled.
I didn’t fall in love,
I fell for our status.

I didn’t fall in love with you,
I fell for, I never did love.

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.
