21st of February

It was a rainy day, the 21st of February

I wore a lace dress and you wore your suit and tie.

Intoxicated with liquor we danced the night off

Girls wore provocative clothing, but you kept your interest on mine.

We had Arabic for dinner, did not converse for too much.

You held my hand during the drive before you dropped me off.

Your hands are always so soft, as if your touch is meant to moisturize mine.

"I'll be going to the east coast for dental school" was a haunting remark.

Although we just met, I've never been so scared to get attached.

Your lips kiss me softly with no further intention of taking any clothing off.

No man has showed me such intentions in the past.

I am found in confusion,

Like a rose in the process of drying out, its brittle petals falling off.

It has been about a year since I've been a colorless rose.

You kiss me goodbye one last time and promise to see me tomorrow.

Such a bittersweet feeling that tears begin to roll down my cheeks as I walk in the rain back,

I am scared to have you, to hold you like a fragile coffee mug that will slip out of my hands.

Maybe I'll be the coffee mug and I shall forever remain forgotten in your kitchen as you replace it with a glass.

Overthinking thoughts flow like the rain from Arizona skies on the night of the 21st of February.

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.
