Fairy Tale Endings Are For The Fairy Tales.

Your life is not in a story book, don't try to make it one.

21

Honey, don't listen to the love songs, don't listen to the fairy tale don't listen to any other woman that someone is gonna come and save you. There is nobody that is going to come on some white horse and make you happy; the only person that can do that is you. In this aspect the media truly fails us especially the young. Of course you will have friends and family who are there for you in your rough times, but there is no romantic interest who is going to serve you on a silver platter. Everyone has a story, that much is true, but no story is a fairy tale because life just doesn't work that way. No matter how good you are at heart no one in this world is designed to bring you happiness, that's something you have to do for yourself.


Your story, your life, is in your control. All of the happiness is yours for the taking, and it's real easy to do...stop waiting. Don't play the part of the damsel in distress. Go out and do the things you wanna do. If wanna get that tattoo get that tattoo, if you wanna get that piercing get that piercing, if you wanna die your hair or buy new clothes just go out and do it. If you wanna go to one party go to one party, do the things you love and don't think twice about it. No one else's opinion is valid on your body, no one else's thoughts belong in your head (but your thoughts don't belong in anyone else's either).

It's okay to want things that other people don't like, it's okay to do things that make you happy. At the end of the day you're the only one that can do that.

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.
