What Makes Me Happy

This year I am taking the time to write down the things that make me happy, I have spent so much of my life focusing on the negatives of my life and only seeing what I hated about myself. I am taking a few minutes to write a list of what really makes me happy. I started writing this list in an old notebook of mine and I thought it was time to share it!

Here it goes:

  1. My Family: I would be absolutely no where in life without my family. They have given me so much. Their constant love and support is something that I appreciate every single day. They are the wind beneath my wings and the reason why I am the person that I am today.
  2. My Friends: I would also be nowhere in life without my friends. They make me laugh until I cry, help me to see the light when there is darkness and are always there without any hesitation. I am incredibly grateful for them.
  3. My Job: I have the joy of working with some of the most amazing people in the world. I love going to work everyday to do what I love to do. Everyday is incredibly rewarding and I feel good knowing that I have helped to shape the minds and lives of some of the best kiddies in the world.

I picked the three major things in my life that make me happy. When I come across something else in my life that will make me happy, I will add it to the list. I hope that this list has inspired you to take a second and think about what in your life makes you happy. It doesn’t have to be much but if it really makes you happy then that is all that matters.

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.
