We should all live life to the fullest.

Life, we question it everyday, all the time. We are all existing until we experience life. And we are all living for existence...Until we are living for ourselves, we will never truly know the meaning of life and our own existence. To know the true meaning of life, we must experience it. Now-a-days, it is hard to just live our lives. Society now tells us to settle down by twenty-five with kids, and a mortgage, work, then retire and die. With that type of life, we are not truly living. We are not meant, as humans just to work until we die and have nothing to show for it. If all we are doing is existing with nothing to show for it, then we might as well live our lives the way we want to. Travel the state you live in, then move on to something better to see and experience in your life. LIVE YOUR LIFE! I have come across so many people who are completely content with where they are in life in their twenties. I say, those people are afraid of life itself. Life has so many great opportunities for us that we just pass up and miss because we are afraid of a change and afraid of life. We are afraid of life and experiences because now, we have the newspaper and the television and internet telling us what and who we should be afraid of. All of those things are telling us to be afraid to just be human. We all make mistakes, but now, we have technology that "sends out" the hatred and fear to install in us and to make us afraid and feel bad for our mistakes. We fear our lives based off of what other people tell us to fear because they probably fear it themselves. We shouldn't have to fear for our lives because "society" tells us to fear it. We should be living our lives the way we want to. Those people who are content being stuck where they are and regretting everything they didn't do on their death beds, they can go ahead and do so. I, however, will not let anyone tell me how to live my life. Since, we will ALL have nothing to show for it in the end, I will live my life to its fullest...

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.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?
