Don’t You Think People Can Change?

Life pulls you down one path and yet you land in another over and over again.

Don’t You Think People Can Change?
Bree-Anna Pike

Have you ever lost yourself to the point that you had no idea where you were going or even who you are? Life can throw you into so many paths and give so many lessons that we learn over and over again. Do you ever wonder who you are as a person and where it might be taking you? Did you get lost on the path that you thought you were supposed to take? Don’t worry about it at all we all lose our sense of self from time to time.

From time to time you start to wonder what is it that makes you who you are. Is it your family, your past or both? For me, it's the both but so much more than that. The way I have grown up, I’ve always had people there for me and always was being picked on for being “too friendly” and being everyone's friend.

Nothing was easy for me growing up. I lost my grandfather at a young age and that took something out of me. To this day I miss him with all my heart and I go to his grave once a week and yes I know that really isn’t normal but it's what I do. I’m extremely close to my family where I would anything for them like take a bullet to the heart. My family means the world to me and nothing I mean nothing will ever change that or come in the way of my family and me.

I grew up in a huge family. From my mom's side to my dad's side god only knows how many members I truly have. My dad's side is mostly country and so outgoing I love it. Being around them means everything to me. When I'm down or in a bad mood they're right there to help and change the mood especially when I get to see my little cousins they brighten my world up like it’s the fourth of July.

My mom's side is all city really no country bone in them and it's harder to have fun on that side because they don’t joke around them, can’t do much either way. That's the thing I'm more like my dad's side of the family no matter what way you look at it plus I kinda take after my dad in some ways and my mom others nothing wrong with it, it’s just how I am.

I consider myself as country. I have my own style that's how it’s to spot me. I’m my own character and for people who don’t know me, I'm weird. I have my attitude issues, mood swings. I would say I'm normal but I'm nowhere near normal and being normal in my opinion is boring because who wants to be normal. Country means a lot to me. I grew up with it and the morals, the yes ma’am, yes sir. Country has been apart if me since I could remember and I love everything about it.

No matter what it is I face something always seem to come back and bite me in my butt. I’m so tired of getting hurt, being pushed around, people using me as a doormat. I'm stronger then anyone would like to even think I am and I'm done with being treated like I'm not human, I have a name please use it.

The things i've been through changes a lot about me everytime. The person i am today is someone who can hardly trust, who falls harder than anyone will ever know, someone that's scared to get close to someone because they leave in the end.

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.
