Finding My People

You're my person.

Finding My People
Huffington Post

I'll be the first to admit, it took me what feels like a long time to find my people. You know, those ones you can always count on, the ones you can be wild with and the ones who will always make you laugh when you need it. It isn't easy finding those people in life and I honestly had a time in my life I thought I wouldn't find them.

My freshman year of college I felt so alone. I never thought I would find those people to support me and love me through everything. Then, sophomore year I moved into my sorority house and found some of the best friends.

I've always been quiet and shy and it wasn't easy to find those people. Opening up to people was really hard at first. However, once I did open up to people I found friends I never expected. I found the friends to laugh with, cry with, share embarrassing moments with and the biggest moments with.

If you are feeling alone and like you don't have those people in your life, it will happen. I hope you're never feeling alone and if you are, it will get better and you will find people to support you. Keep holding on and stay strong. You will find the people to share a pizza with on a Saturday night at 3 in the morning and stay up laughing all night with.

Thank you to my people. Thanks for always being there for me. Thanks for never judging me. Thanks for loving me and always sharing a laugh with 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.
