We Are All Human

Accepting our differences is so important.

We are all human, correct? If this is so true, then why is it so hard for our society to get along with one another? When we were young, we were taught to be kind to everyone regardless of any differences they had. I wish people could still have that mindset now. God created different people for a reason; we were put on this Earth together, so what is the point of not getting along.

Unfortunately, we live in a world where the words racism, discrimination, segregation, prejudice, intolerance, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, etc. exist. There is no reason to hate someone because of their race, ethnicity, gender, religion, or sexual orientation. No single person or group of people is better than the other. I wish everyone could be peaceful and not look down on anyone else. There should not be this feeling of superiority over anyone. We are all equal so we should treat each other as equals.

People are so scared of differences that they are not used to. But these differences should be taken as a time to learn about others, learn about their experiences, backgrounds, and history. The world would be so boring if there were only one type of people. It is so interesting to learn about different traditions, different languages, different feelings and views that others have, and different beliefs. Diversity is truly a gift that we need to hold on to. Instead of rejecting differences, we need to start accepting them. Being united is better than being apart.

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.
