Getting Back To You

An original poem addressing that it's ok to "reset" when not feeling like yourself. You are always worth the extra work.

Hey Readers,

I know that sometimes it can be a struggle to really place emphasis on taking care of yourself. There can be many different ways to "getting back" to you. What I mean by that is, there is something you recognize within you that just doesn't fit or feel right. There are changes that have shifted your perspective. I've mentioned that change isn't always bad. However, when it takes away from who you are instead of adding positively, there's nothing wrong with setting extra time aside for yourself. Do things or seek positive ways of attaining a healthier version of who you are. May all of the best vibes find you and help you grow. I hope this reaches someone who needs it. Take care!


There was a time of understanding

In oneself and direction

There was a time of knowing

You could get back to you

But getting back to you can take work

It can be hard

You may stumble and fall

But getting back to you

Is the best feeling of them all

Thinking of resting your worries is best

Always remember that no one can walk the journey quite like you

No one can talk about your story quite like you

No one can live your life quite like you

If you like where you are, be proud of that and let no one take it away from you

If you desire change, be persistent in that and let no one, still, try to strip that away

You can read all of the textbooks

The essays

The narratives

But in the end, it's getting back to you

That is the most important and essential

Person because

There's only one of you

There may be some people out there who also

Share similarities in character or stories

However, they aren't carbon copies

There's a unique set of qualities

Money simply cannot buy

To recreate you

Getting back to you can be hard

But as long as you take your time

And feel comfortable in your journey

You can always become a better version of yourself

There is never a "right" or "wrong" way

To get back to you

Be the you that you always wanted to be

There is never a wrong time it's true

For getting back 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.
