Girl, It's Actually Time To Stop Apologizing

Girl you need to stop apologizing. And yes I did just pick up Rachel Hollis's book this week and I may or may not have gotten a little inspired while writing this. She truly is the definition of real and I hope to include more realness in my life as I go through my ups and downs.

I want to stop apologizing for being myself. I think that I get so in my head sometimes with how I should be/act and it's hard to realize that I shouldn't fixate on what people think of me on a daily basis. The comments on an Instagram post of mine shouldn't affect how I think of myself and it shouldn't affect what you think of yourself either.

I want to stop apologizing for how I do in school. I feel like I get so caught up in the numbers and just pass the fact that I made mistakes and that I can move forward. Sometimes it's just acknowledging what errors I made and correcting them at my own pace when I'm ready to do so, even when others around you are pressuring you to get something done in a timely manner. You should be able to do you on your own time without worrying about how you perform.

I want to stop apologizing for the music that I listen to. The music that I listen to is eclectic for sure, it really just depends on my mood and what exactly if I'm doing. If I'm working out its usually country or pop. So I just want to be cool with myself if I don't want to listen to rap at the times I want to listen to country. I still want to be open to listening to different kinds of music though, I just want to be more vocal in what music tastes I'm currently into

Overall, I have a lot that I need to think about with all of my apologies to myself. This book has really lit a fire in me and I truly hope that it continues to do so as I'm going along in my life and career. I hope to never lose who I am and hope that I am able to inspire people someday.

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.
