No Dream Is Too Big

Get out there and do it

I graduate from college in 220 days but who's counting right? It's that point of my college career where I'm bombarded with the heavy question of "what am I going to do now?" For those students in the same position as me, or will be in the next few years, you'll find yourself in this dazed confusion of unanswered questions. I know where I want to be five or ten years from now, but how do I get there? How do I make those next steps? How do I actually "adult?"

I don't really think anyone has those answers and that might just be the joy of life.

So where exactly do I want to be in ten years? I want to be the owner of a child care and family service center. I'm on the fence about becoming a non-profit, but my ultimate goal is to provide services and child care to low-income and needy families. Services like financial counseling, family/individual therapy, educational and career opportunities, tutoring for school-aged children and other services down to child care.

It's a pretty ambitious goal that's for sure, but I'm passionate about giving aid to low-income families. It's a dream I can accomplish and I am motivated and determined to not give it up.

It doesn't matter what your dream or goals are after college. It doesn't matter if you even know what you plan to do after graduation. One day, you'll get there. If your goals are small and focus on each day at a time or are focused on the big picture, eventually you will get there with hard work and a huge amount of effort. Becoming the person you want to be or achieving all your goals is going to be the hardest part of the journey. You and I will want to give up every day. Nothing you imagine is ever too big or too ambitious.

As the cliche goes, "If you can dream it you can do it."

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.
