Eleven Things for my Sister to remember

You are ENOUGH, you are BEAUTIFUL and you are KIND (favorite quote)
Live life every day - Things will happen that won’t even matter five years or even five minutes now
Don’t ever stop being yourself to get someone to like you or for some boy to notice you; you will find someone someday that will love everything about you (even your sass, your curly hair and freckles).
This world is a mean place - You will lose friends and you will have heartbreaks but that just makes you into the person that God intended you to be.
Don’t ever make a boy pressure you into sex - Wait for your person and give them every piece of you.
Grow in your faith - You might lose it during certain parts of your life or sometimes you might be so mad at God for what he is putting you through but grow and pray every day.
Ice cream cones are always a good idea.
Be nice to everyone - The “uncool or unpopular” people are some of the coolest and kick ass people I have ever met.
Everyone is fighting a personal battle and you might not understand it, but love them as much as you can.
Get involved - You might not always be the best at everything but give a 100% in everything you do or attempt to do.
Always remember: It’s not a bad life, just a bad day.

Lily: You are a handful, hard-headed, funny, sassy and everything that I wish I could be. We have not always been the closest but every day you amaze me and make me prouder than the day before. Please don’t ever think you aren’t great because you are. You will have bad hair days and days that you don’t think that you are beautiful but you are seriously the most beautiful 13 year old I have ever seen. Don’t let this world make you hard because your smile lights up the darkest of dark rooms. Boys will break you down, tear you apart and some might even leave you crying on the bathroom floor.. tell me so I can beat them up but get up and show them whose boss. Get involved in school, I never wanted to because I was scared of the rejection but try even though you don’t make something at least you tried. When you do find your nitch put a 110% into it. Try in school because it will come back and bite you in the butt if you don’t. Always stick up for your friends and family (I have but don’t have six girls jump you outside the bar). Know when you keep your mouth shut! It will get you in so much trouble but when you want to fight for something, fight for it with everything you have got. Growing up I always thought that I was getting into trouble everyday but the key to dealing with mom and dad is just listen to what they have to say and keep your thoughts in that brain. Love you to the heavens and back so many times I can’t keep count. You will do amazing things and I can’t wait to see what those are. Lastly, you can always call me and ask me anything. I will always answer your questions truthfully even though I might be ashamed of my past but I don’t want you making the same mistakes as me.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
