Haters Hating Is Your Biggest Motivator Because They're Insecure About Your Greatness
Elise Williams

So I feel like everybody has asked themselves at least once in their lives, why does this one person not like me? I have done nothing to them, I don't even know them, but every time I see them they are rude for no reason. This topic is my cup of tea. I just want to say that there are just some people in this world who are bitter and jealous because they are insecure about themselves and/or going through something of their own that they are too shy or maybe just simply too embarrassed to talk about. Like my mom always says, hurt people hurt people. Most of the time if someone has a problem with you it's not you, it's them, and you should not let that get under your skin.

I have found that the older that I get, that everybody has insecurities, and everybody has something that they are not happy about whether it is related to their physical appearance or their life in general. Most times when people are frustrated or overwhelmed or going through something difficult, they like to take their anger or frustration out on other people. I feel like I have dealt with that a lot in my life, where I have been used as a scapegoat for somebody else's frustrations, and I know that I'm not the only one who has experienced this.

I think that the reason why people may be rude or blow up on you out of blue is because of the fact that they have all of these problems and issues that they keep to themselves, and that anger and frustration just builds up over time. Small things add up, and when a person has hit their breaking point they have to release it, and whether intentionally intended for you or not, just be prepared to take the heat. My advice is to keep in the back of your mind that that person probably has something else going on in their lives that's not even about you at all which has them all out of sorts, and if they are a person you care about, then it is your choice to try to see what is really going on verses taking offense to the blow up.

I love the Michelle Obama quote, "When they go low, we go high". This literally is perfect for situations like these. If you encounter somebody in a bad mood or acting rude or cold maybe just talk to them and see if they are okay, and let them know that they are not alone and if they need someone to vent to you are there for them. The best thing for a sad person to hear is that they have somebody there for them and there to support them. Whether that means actually talking it out with them, or just listening to them and letting them vent, that will make them feel better and that will prevent against further damaging the relationship, and furthermore, repairing relationships.

Like I said, haters are my motivators. Sometimes someone may blow up on you and just be rude for no reason, and you may not even know them or care about them. Don't get mad and snap back, take the high road and stay classy. You know you have done nothing wrong, and you can use this as an opportunity to maybe be that person that they needed or that they were missing. You never know what people are going through, so my advice is to always use the golden rule, and take a second to think and evaluate a situation before you start to jump to conclusions. Furthermore, surround yourself by people that applaud your successes and are happy when good things are going for you, those are real friends. People that have no alternative motive and spite towards you.

You have the power to control your emotions, and you can make more of a positive impact on somebody's life than you think. A smile and kind words go a long way, and you are only setting yourself up for good karma and more blessings in the future.

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.
