Does Summer Mean Getting A Boyfriend? Nah.

This summer is going to be about me, myself and I.

Let’s be real, how many people actually wake up in the morning and say, “Alright, it’s summer boys and girls, let’s go find a boyfriend!” Okay, well I’m not going to lie, I’ve possibly said that at least once, but then I told myself "This is crazy. Seriously, what is wrong with you?"

I know for a fact that my friends and I had joked around about how during the summer we’re going make it our mission to find a boyfriend, but as I grow up and become wiser, I’m starting to realize it is about me, myself and I. I guess that has to start with realizing self-worth and knowing who you are as a person, and that’s a journey I’ve been on lately.

This summer, I’m committed to bettering myself and spending more time with people and doing things that make me happy. Throughout the school year, I’ve been trying to work out more and stay fit and eat healthy every day, and I’m committed to sticking with it. Also, working more hours and making more money so that I’ll be able to support myself while I’m at school and be able to fuel my online shopping addiction. OOPS. At least I’ll be looking cute while I do all this.

But don’t get me wrong, if you know anything about me personally, you know that I am the most boy-crazy person and all I want more than anything is a relationship. Other times, I’m happy being single. It’s not like I’m not going to give up that desire but I’m not going to let it surround me and make it my number one priority. If it’s not going to matter in the future, why am I sitting here stressing about it? If the guy who’s playing with my heart right now and I’m crying over him, is it really going to matter in a few years? ABSOLUTELY NOT. So why am I stressing? Honestly, I have no clue. I’m just a weirdo.

Besides the point, I just think that if everyone takes a step back and looks at the bigger picture, you can honestly be happier. Like get this, I’m going PRE-MED, PRE-FREAKING MED. And according to my friend, “I’m going places.” So, I mean, who really wins in the end? Me or this dumb boy? Me obviously. And I’m way better than him in all aspects. Sorry but I’m just realizing my self-worth, and I have a ton of it. I’d like to think that I’m a really good person and that I care about others and have more to me than just a pretty face. And with that being said, I don’t need some college guy making me doubt myself and turn me into something that I am not. I think I’m going to turn out just okay. Pre-fricking med.

You’re going places, remember that. Everyone is going places; don’t let someone tell you otherwise. Make sure you come out on top.

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.
