My Wish To You

Your smile brightens the room. Please don't hide it. Your laugh shakes the earth and sends waves across the Atlantic. Please don't hide it.

My Wish To You
Devin Tubbs

My wish is that you never let society break your will. For you are so strong and powerful that it would have to be heavy burdens to bare. The world is not perfect. No person is perfect, not even yourself.

Some people will dislike you for no reason at all, some will dislike you because you won't conform to their idea of how you should act. That's okay.

Some people may be beautiful on the outside. They draw you in with perfected verses on what's right and wrong only to show true selves and when the bully and nasty come out, they won't be so beautiful anymore. Don't fall victim to their unmerciful ways.

He or she will tell you they love you, they may or may not mean it. It could be years, months, weeks, or days but absolutely do not repeat it unless you mean it. If you do, love with every fiber of your heart. It's only natural to have a heartbreak but it is unnatural to lie. Even if it's just to yourself.

Be cautious of your crowd because you are who you keep company.

Stay humble in knowing we were made equally. Not one person is made with out blood and bones. We all bleed the same. Do not think you're ever too good to be someone's friend, or not good enough for that matter.

We all fight our own demons and once you break a porcelain doll, the cracks won't ever go away no matter how strong the glue is. Keep that in mind when venom tries to latch on to the tip of your tongue.

Do not let others define your idea of beauty.

Your smile brightens the room. Please don't hide it. Your laugh shakes the earth and sends waves across the Atlantic. Please don't hide it.

Your value is priceless so do not sell yourself short. Keep your morals and standards close to your heart and keep steadfast on your path of your own righteousness.

My wish is that you never let society break you. You're smart, you're courageous, and you belong

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.
