Frustration

A letter to you.

Dear You,

I know you're hurting inside. I know you want to just cry and let it all out but you don't want to break down outside. I know the frustration you feel when you take 10 steps back. That shit is so damn frustrating.

"Am I supposed to fail? Am I supposed to be unsatisfied with my life? I don't want to settle."

I know how those sleepless nights feel. Days without communication and no one taking the time out to see how you really feel because your response to how are you is I'm good. For some reason, we think that if we let someone in, it will be added stress that we really don't have the time to deal with. Do we think or do we know?

I know the urge you feel to live your dream because I feel it too. I know the frustration you feel when loved ones tell you to get a real job as if your dream is a hobby. You can do it on the side they'll say. Why is it so hard for you to understand that I want to live my dream. I want to be happy and not realize I'm working because it won't just be a job, It'll be my life. I have known that I wanted this as a career since I was four. Does that make sense to you?

I know how you feel.

Don't let the world get the best of you because your time will come. You can't give up. Giving up will just prove them right, they have won.

Do you want them to win? I don't.

Lily Tomlin says "The road to success is always under construction". Believe in yourself and know that sooner or later you will make it because you put in the work to build your brand. You put in the work to make a name for yourself. No one can stop you but you.

The road will get brighter. Your life will get easier and you will be happy. Trust, believe, and never give up.

This letter is to you.

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.
