this one is for The Girl Who's Struggling with life

I know you've probably had it rough the past couple of months, I understand. We all go through rough times that make us question our sanity. You will get through it, though. I promise.

You've learned so much in the past couple of months. You've learned that no matter how close you are to your friends, it's not impossible for you to fight and bicker. Maybe you've even decided that it's best if you stay away from past friends because all they do is bring you down. Just remember that your true friends will always stick beside you. You will always have yourself, so be your own best friend if you have to.

"That's when I realized what a true friend was. Someone who would always love you – the imperfect you, the confused you, the wrong you – because that is what people are supposed to do." Unknown.

Heartbreak may have even been a topic this past couple of months. If so, you've already learned that he/she obviously wasn't the one. One day, you will find the right person who will love you and cherish you, no matter what. Don't ever blame yourself, though. Remind yourself that a relationship is two-sided. Meaning whatever happened wasn't just your fault.

It's totally okay if you need to take some time to focus on yourself. You're not being selfish at all, and don't let anyone tell you that. It takes a lot to recognize that you need to focus on yourself, so you're already doing great! It's a lot easier to love yourself if you didn't already obvious.

Maybe you've just been really stressed lately, and you don't know what to do about it. That happens, sometimes. Take a deep breath and look at how far you've come. Up until this point you've managed to survive everything that's happened to you. Who is to say you won't get through this, too?

"Respect, love, and value yourself. Always remember to be good to yourself by taking care of yourself. Make yourself a priority and know that it's okay. Don't feel guilty for loving yourself, first! You're just as important as anybody else."
– Stephanie Lahart

You've learned and grown so much in this past couple of months. With everything you've overcome, give yourself a pat on the back. Not everything is easy and you've definitely persevered. Know your worth, because you are not worthless.

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.
