Fear, We All Experience It

Fear.

According to dictionary.com, fear is "adistressingemotionarousedbyimpendingdanger,evil,pain,etc.,whetherthethreatisrealorimagined;thefeelingorconditionof beingafraid."

Fear stops us from doing things we want to try and do. Personally for me at this moment it is stopping me from doing a lot of things I want to do in life. But why? I am not sure. Maybe it is cause I am unsure how the outcome will turn out. What can come. Who knows. I asked people on Facebook what they fear about in life. Here are some responses I got.

"Losing my parents and my kid(s) losing me."

"I fear not being as close as I am to my sisters, and why, because we have such a strong bond and they're the most important people to me so I don't know how I'd survive if I didn't have them in my life, for guidance or for anything. They're a part of me."

"Not being able to have children, not finding someone to give all my love to, dying and having no one miss me."

"Accidentally plagiarizing."

"A loveless marriage"

"Losing my parents"

"Reaching an old age and realizing I haven't learned enough/experienced enough and it being too late."

"Dying alone."

"Heights."

"Anonymous Death."

"Heights. When I'm near the edge of something I feel my heart sink and I get lightheaded."

"Lightning."

"Driving over bridges."

For me, I have many. Unfortunately my biggest one is dying and getting older, which of course we can't control. Second I have to agree is losing my parents, third is jumping into the wrong career choice and ending up worse then I am now. Fourth is never finding someone who loves me and understands me enough to put up with me.

I hope I can find the courage to overcome my fears so I can live a happy and fulfilling life, as well as everyone around me.

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.
