A Note To Self

A letter to myself and what I need to remember

A Note To Self
Shea Needham

I know you feel confused and unsure of what to do and I know you are stressed with school, but I wanted to tell you that it is going to be okay. You wake up every day and feel like you are living the same routine over and over again but it is time to change this and start looking for the opportunities that life will soon be handing you.

I know you see your friends catching feelings for people and you're beginning to notice more and more couples on campus, but always remember you do not need someone to make you happy. You can make yourself happy, you always have and you always will. You need to start loving yourself a little bit more every day because loving yourself is the most important thing possible.

Start remembering to tell your friends you love them every day. You often forget to show them you care and have recently been distant, make sure you change that because they deserve the very best and you know that.

Remember it's okay to ask for help because you are extremely stubborn and never ask, even when you severely need it.

Remember to embrace the way you look and embrace who you are because you do not need to live up to society's view in order to be considered 'perfect'.

Remember to leave the past in the past. There is a reason why it is in the past and start focusing more on the future. You have so much more ahead of you in life and dwelling on the past is pointless and useless.

Please never stop being yourself. You may be loud and very out going, but everyone is different and this is what makes you different. Your friends and family will always be there to support you and that's what is important.

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.
