How My Family Has Saved Each Other

Family is the most important thing in the world

How My Family Has Saved Each Other
Diana Giacobbe

Princess Diana once said, "Family is the most important thing in the world" and I seem to keep having experiences within my family where I see this portrayed. Whether family is considered your friends, your blood relations, or both, they are always the most important thing in the world. The "family oriented" person is by far my favorite attribute about a person.

Over the past few years, my family has come together in more ways than one and it amazes me how much I have witnessed all of us being there for each other and being willing to drop everything to do so. November 8 will be seven years since my grandmom has passed and at the age of 12, this was the first moment I saw how supportive my family really is. Since then I have been so much more aware of it grateful for it. I can only hope the man I marry and my future children have the same family values as my whole family does.

From family drama to family tragedies, we have been there to comfort, laugh, cry, and help build each other and while some of us may get ticked off at one another occasionally, I have never been a part of anything as loving as this family.

Over the past years, I have also been lucky enough to have friends that have acted like family in more ways than one. From those friends that always seem to be able to walk into my house and have no problem striking up a conversation with my immediate family, to the friends at school that have been there in times where I wasn't able to just run away and run home.

Family is considered anyone you can go to and trust, people who give you support in all that you do and are there for you through hard times and celebrating with you through good times. Whether those are your blood relations or trustworthy friends, consider yourself lucky because you will all always be saving one another.

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.
