Don't Forget To Be A Child At Heart Sometimes

Don't grow up, it's a trap.

Don't Forget To Be A Child At Heart Sometimes
Corrine Harding

With the type of personality I have, some may consider me immature or childish, but I would call myself embracing my inner child. I think in our fast-paced world we live in, we want to grow up so quickly and forget who we were when we were little, but I think it is so important to make sure to take a step back, take a deep breath, and enjoy life. I try my hardest to not forget about my inner child because this part of me gets to see the world in a different point of view. If you think about children's movies or books, they aren't just always based for children.

Many of these things have deeper meaning or messages than what is on the surface and remembering your inner your child is a way for you to gain more meaningful values throughout your life, no matter what your age is.

I try to find the fun or the excitement in everything going on around me. Life can be mundane and boring, and trying to find the joy in life is something that is good for the soul. Bringing pure energy to your life can make your world seem like it is always a beautiful sunny day. You can have fun anywhere, and life seems to be a party wherever you go. Life is too short to not love what you do, but it is important to know that your attitude is a thing that decides your happiness in life. Embracing your inner child is a stepping stone to seeing the world as a grand adventure rather than just being a hamster on a wheel.

The biggest thing about embracing your inner child is you appreciate all things in life, no matter how big or small. You have a pure sense of view and you have no filter on how you feel. You keep the ones that mean the most to you closest, and you know what makes you happy. You find joy in all things in your life, and sometimes you know that the smallest things in life can be the biggest moments.

Remembering your inner child reminds you of what is important in your life and that the moments that you can least expect can be life-changing.

As life goes in, do not forget about your inner child because it can open doors that you would never have opened before. You laugh a little longer, love a little harder, and never lose the magic. Having this type of perspective makes you fight for what you deserve, you just don't throw a tantrum when things don't go your way. In life, it is important to make sure you have different perspectives on life to be well-rounded and make the best decisions for you. Being realistic, optimistic, and a pessimist is important as well, but it seems like we forget one perspective, our inner child. Living your life with a child's perspective lets you be adventurous, honest, and forever young.

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.
