If It Is Supposed To Happen, It Will Happen

There is nothing we can do to change the inevitable.

If It Is Supposed To Happen, It Will Happen
Marcel White

Change is inevitable and sometimes that is hard to accept. One of the hardest things I have ever had to learn is that if it is meant to happen, it will happen. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and no amount of precautions can prevent something from happening.

Usually, when things change, people are quick to react negatively and get rid of the change to make things go back to the way they were. I have always been quick to notice even the slightest changes in people's attitudes and the way they act in certain situations. This has personally made me more prepared for changes that were to come. The only problem with me noticing these slight differences is that it would cause me to try to stop what I felt was about to happen.

I frequently want things to go my way or to go no way at all. Reality has hit me in the face pretty hard withing these past few years as I have realized that I, believe it or not, cannot control every little thing that goes on in the world. It's easy to get caught up in the fantasies of your thoughts but when you start thinking logically, you must realize that life is going to take its course with or without you trying to influence it.

It is okay to want things and to pursue those wants but at the end of the day, it will happen if it is supposed to happen. Of course you still have to work for it but I believe that if you are actually meant to end up with a certain career or a certain person, you will end up that way. Each life is unique in its own way and we all experience different situations and react to those situations differently.

I always try really hard to make something happen if I want it to. I fail to realize that just because I want it to happen doesn't mean that those who are involved in the situation want it to happen too. We all need to spend less time waiting around and just let things happen as they are supposed to. There is nothing we can do to change the inevitable. If it's meant to be, it will be. We just have to leave it alone and let it be so it can, if that's what is supposed to happen.

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.
