You don't have to be a senior to stress about your future.

I know that is finals week and no one wants to read an article that is about it, unless it is funny. I get it, I'm one of them too.

On the other hand, I have the need to share my worries with someone and the vast majority of my friends are busy with exams and papers, which, again, I get. Hence the article.

I've have been having a hard time to get people to relate to my uncertainties, maybe because everybody is too caught up in their world or because they simply don't want to think about the future or they are in denial; all plausible.

Even in my ritual calls to my family they tell me to not wrry about it and live in the present, although I've always worked in order to get a more prosperous future under their advice. So you can imagine my confusion on the matter.

It is perfectly okay if you aren't in your final year of high school or college and worry about your carreer. Don't let people belittle your anxiety because the future is "too far away" for you to stress about. Just because the end of one part of your education isn't immediate, it doesn't mean you don't have the right to be apprehensive.

If you feel like you need to express your worries, do it. Don't let people persuade you into thinking and feeling something that you are not feeling in that moment. You do you, and I mean it in the least sarcastic way possible.

Don't let anyone change your emotional status about anything, unless it is what you want. I cannot stress, no pun intended, this enough.

Your mental health is more important than what people want you do to or how they want you to act in public. Please, be your beautiful self. You'll feel so much better afterward. There's always a time to stress about some aspect of your life, you need it in order to cope and once you have acknowledged it, move on to more cheerful thoughts.

I really hope this all over the place article helps some of you a little bit.

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.
