To The Fellow College Student, Now Is Your Time

In the last week, my professor told me to be open. He actually ended our conversation with this piece of advice that actually translated into a reminder. Here is why this reminder came at the right time.

Being reminded how my college years are the best time to be open minded was the best advice and motivator any professor has given me in a long time. With everything that went on in the last two weeks, it really had my mind going a mile a minute. It was one of those spiral of events that could not let me get in a minute for myself. Let me tell you, however, that your faith (whatever that may be) has a plan for you. Here are some personal moments that I had in the past five days to represent how new relationships and objects can result in an even deeper mindset.

First being introduced to the Bible. This article is not centered around proclaiming my faith on anyone, but to mainly state what I have taken away from this experience. The Bible has not always been an ideal source that I have turned to my whole entire life, especially my childhood. However, I have recently been introduced to it. I can honestly say this specific encounter could not have come at a more perfect time.

Reading this source allowed me to take a breather when I felt that the world was crumbling in my hands. It also gave me the opportunity to center in on what was truly important to me in terms of relationships since new friendships were made in the process.

Along with being open to new people, my mind was open to reading every one of those amazing words that makes up the Bible. They came together in a way that instantly resonated with me. It was meaningful, and at the same time touched upon specific key elements that makes a human's overall journey so special.

Something special that came from this is how I am allowing the higher power to take the lead.

Whether that may be in the form of creating new relationships or allowing me to further dive into the depths of the true meaning of spirituality, I am ready to make yet another one of my college-year-chapters an impactful one.

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.
