Greetings to 2017

A little welcome letter to the new year

Greetings to 2017

In all honesty, I have been waiting for this year to roll around for a while now. 2016 just wasn't enough for me to handle at one time. Yes, even with some ups the downs had an impact not just on me, but on the rest of the world too. With everyone we've lost from Alan Thicke to David Bowie, I think the world has suffered enough. With our new elected president and all the different opinions revolving around that, I think the world has suffered enough. With everyone's lives outside of the news, I think the world has suffered enough of 2016.

Everyone will have different goals and resolutions for the new year, for 2017. Some of them may be simple but won't follow through, others will go with it and succeed. The rest of the world won't want to make goals and resolutions just so the world can throw whatever it wants at them and take the year by storm. Most of the time that's the best option just so you don't get your hopes up on some expectations you might of had.

Some of these simple goals may include wanting to start a diet to lose weight, start a new hobby since your previous one might be getting too old for you, and so on and so forth. Harder ones might be things on your bucket list like going sky diving or going to a country you've never been to before. Half of that might have to do with money you might not have (let's admit, we are all poor one way or another).

In short, we are all probably just praying for 2017 to be the best year of their lives and pray it's going to be better than 2016. So farewell 2016, you have done us well and done us dirty and it's time to put most of you in the past. 2017, it's your turn to shine and I hope you do us good and give us all you got and I feel the rest of the world feels the same way.

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.
