When you look at a tree, what do you see? (Oh, look, I'm Seuss)

I know, I know. You see a tree. But, do you see just the tree? Or is there more to it?

You're probably think, "A tree is a tree. Of course I see a tree when I look at a tree. You make no sense."

I don't. I mean, sure, it's a true, and a nice one at that. But, I also see the branches the consume space, and each little twig branching off of it. I see the pattern in the bark and the little bugs that call the tree it's home. I see the tree's beauty.

I like to believe it's because I have an artsy eye. I adore the beauty of simple things, and imagine the work of art they are, and could become. I'm blown away by some of the ideas I get from looking as a mere tree.

My artistic eye is my favorite thing about me. It makes my world brighter. I couldn't imagine staring t a tree and just thinking "So tall" or "Thanks for helping be breathe, buddy". No thank you.

I love that have the capability to make things that I picture. I'm painted so many quotes, mixed so many pictures, created so many ads for minuscule things, and I've turned song lyrics into typography happiness.

Art makes me so happy.


Now, I know a lot of people don't have the eye for some things (or the ear if we're talking music). In my years of art, so many people have said "I wish I had an artistic bone in my body" or "I just don't really see things like that". And that honestly makes me sad.

How could someone not see something in a way that looks 10x more beautiful. I don't think it should be legal. It's just not right.

If you're a person that doesn't really have an eye for this kind of stuff, I'm so sorry. I hope you do have something that makes you happy though. Maybe someday, someone can show you how they see things. Until then, you do you, and be happy.

I hope everyone does things that make them happy. Art just happens to be mine.

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.
