"Anyway, I can convince you and God to let me stay for a bit, it has been too long without you"

Let's be honest, if someone told you could could visit Heaven your response without a doubt be a yes. We all have at least one person we'd want to see. If you don't you haven't experienced loss of a loved one. Losing a loved ones has changed me in so many ways I can't express the feel. I have lost so many people dear to my heart I can't keep count anymore.

I know without a doubt the people I would meet. My grandpa's that I never got the chance to meet. I'm tired of hearing the stories and memories I would've loved to experience with them. It's draining to hear relatives talk about them and you have to pretend you know exactly what they're talking about.

I know I'd love to visit my aunt that passed at childbirth, Karen. My dad's sister, nobody got the chance to formally meet her. I know if I had the chance I would tell her all about the goofy things my dad does, or remind her of how good of a cook he is. Maybe mention that his name is so well known in our opportunity, everyone that has met him absolutely loves him and gave he gave them a positive outlook on life.

Seeing my Busha one last time would be the dream, because she has been in my dreams for last month in a half. Relatives always tell me, I look like her. To be honest, I have no recollection of her, just memories that people have told me. One thing that will always stand out because she called me "Shrimpy" not because I'm obsessed with Shrimp, because her and I were the shortest. With her at 5'1 and myself at 5'5 now. I can see why she called me Shrimpy. I just want to hug her and tell her I love you since I never got the chance to say goodbye, because it was so sudden.

Maybe he could've been a doctor, symphony director, maybe an astronaut but I have be content that he's not in pain anymore. Alex, was a kind hearted soul that never took anything for granted. If someone needed anything he'd be there for you in a heartbeat if he wasn't at a music lessons. I reconnected my bond with him in eighth grade as we're getting ready to be incoming freshmen. Blue and green aren't just my favorite colors anymore they're in remembrance of Alex. Donate Life means, donating your organ, like the person who saved Alex until he passed 2 years ago. Alex and I would tell you to consider becoming an Organ Donor.

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.
