To The Girl Who Is A Work In Progress
Gina Kuroda

I am here to tell you that there is nothing wrong with not knowing where you are going in life. Sometimes you go through difficult times in your life that make you wonder if you are ever going to make it through. Once you do, you look at yourself, and you have become stronger.

Depending on the challenges you had to face, you lose yourself in overcoming them. You get out of it alive, but you are a little lost. You have lost track of your goals. You have lost track of what is really important. You have neglected those who have always stood by you.

There is a lack of self-awareness that at that point, you have no idea if you are going to get it back or not. You question the world around you because that is what you had to do during your difficult time. At this point, you also have no idea what people have your best interest in mind. You forgot how to trust those you should and learned how to guard yourself in order not to get hurt any more than you have been.

There are so many emotions rolling around in your mind, and you do not know what to do with them. One day you are as happy as can be, and in a flip of a switch, you become a completely different person you do not recognize. You keep asking yourself why this is happening to you. To tell you the truth, I do too. The only explanation that comes to mind is that of what you keep telling yourself. The hurt and pain you went through have only left open wounds that have no timeline of when they will be ready to heal.

At the end of the day, hopefully, you have been taught a lesson through your tough experience. When the day comes and you have completely healed, hopefully, you are able to look at yourself the same way. You deserve the world, and one day you will have it in your hands when you feel confident enough to go out and conquer it.

Once that happens, never again will you see life with the same painful eyes. You will then learn that you are the most amazing person that you can be and nothing can ever change that again.

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.
