Don't Be Afraid To Say What You Want

Be outspoken; be heard.

It seems to be, that the more a person is "outspoken," the more he/she is ridiculed for it. It seems as if people don't like the fact that there are people who will gladly say whatever it is that they want, whenever they want. It's almost as if people are afraid of being told the truth about things they don't want to know the truth for.

Being outspoken isn't ever a bad thing, in most opinions it's a great feature to have, because then people can always rely on you to tell them the truth in the way that they should be hearing it. To have a friend that will gladly tell you like it is, i great because then you will never have to worry about someone saying it behind your back. To be told that what you're doing is idiotic, or that the outfit you're wearing is hideous, is never the nicest thing to hear, but it can be one of the best things that someone can tell you. We all seem to become blind to the little things that we do, and to have someone call us out on all of these things is the best thing that we can have. Some seem to not agree withe people just saying whatever it is that's on their mind, but the people that say whatever they want will be the most sincere and caring people that you will ever meet. They may not always say the most "PC" things, and you will definitely not always agree with what is said, but hearing it will always get you thinking about things.

Don't be afraid to say what is on your mind. There is a correct way to go about saying what you want to say, not saying that you should just blurt out words and opinions. Just, let people know how you feel, don't be afraid to hide something from others. If you're upset with someone, let them know politely. If you have romantic feelings for someone, let them no and have no regrets. Living in the shadows because you're afraid of everything that will come to light, is never a way to live life. Be known, be out there, be you, because being yourself is the best self that you can be.

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.
