Happy Birthday

Thank you Dad.

Happy Birthday
Monica Perryman

So they always say that there is going to be one man in your life that loves you unconditionally from the day you are born for the rest of your life.

This man will be the one to read you bed time stories when you're little and will one day walk you down an aisle to give you away. He will be there for the biggest moments of your life. The dance recitals, the color guard contests, the band concerts, and everything in between.

A person who is going to look at you when a boy breaks your heart at fifteen years old and be ready to take him on for you. A man that will teach you how to change your brakes, how to manage money, and how you can be the best version of yourself every day.

I'm lucky enough to know that he is my dad.

Thank you for everything you have done for me as I have grown up. Thank you for teaching me how to change a tire on my car, how to be business savvy, how to be independent, and how to be myself. You also taught me how to stand up for myself which has made me a better person each and every day.

There are countless things that you do for me that I am always grateful for. I know I don't always say thank you when I should so this is a way that I wanted to use to do so.

Thank you for inspiring me to participate in marching band for all of those years and for always giving me advice on how I can and continue to improve myself each day.

Happy Birthday to you. Watch a soccer game and hang out with the cat since you're her favorite anyway.

Love,

Sis

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.
