Dreaming Big is Life's Greatest Obstacle

The question of day: How do you pull it off?

Dreaming Big is Life's Greatest Obstacle

One moment, I'm attentively listening to a lecture on electrostatics, and a split-second after, my mind swerves out course and there I am, in a fantasy. Holding on to a vision so vividly almost hindered my conscience. All in all, my normal life is beneficial enough, executed in its routine manner, but having the visions I know I am destined to be in, even if it isn't in the very moment, is definitely worth the distraction.

Day by day, I've become increasingly suspicious of the word "Morr." The idea is intimidating, and at the same time, it invites my to expand my boundaries and the abundance of success. Of course, the positive intention behind the word is the underlying courage, but then again, we are told that overconfidence will ultimately lead to your doom.

At times, I ask myself whether I am capable to hold faith in my occasional fantasies. If my mind trails in this path, then why haven't I conducted the motivation towards initiation? I fail to find the melodious harmony between mind and body as one is directed towards the future, while the other is pursuing the present in a juxtaposing manner.

Earlier this year, the universe reminded me that I held the mentality to survive, despite the immense pressures. It was in the moment where I forbore my ambition, in which I expected the least, that I lived the most. On this day, the universe informed me that I stopped myself from carrying solid burdens daily, the clouds would part, in which I would be able to see clearly.

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.
