If My Life Was A Movie

Oh boy. If my life was a movie, what would it be? Let’s begin. My house would be white with black shutters. There would be a white picket fence with flowers adorning each side of the driveway. I would have a dog and a brother. I would also have to be perfect, because after all, everyone in movies has the life -- the perfect life.

News flash! My life is not like that at all! I am an only child and my parents and I don’t have a dog. Believe me, I’m not perfect; frankly, no one is unless a screenwriter creates you in fictional form. OK, so now that we all realize it is not possible to be perfect and we shouldn’t strive for that, I’ll continue. I guess my point is: be grateful for what you have, make the best out of the lemons life throws at you and make some lemonade because we only live once so you might as well make it count.

Anyway, if life was a movie, hmm…

OK, so I would be living in a house that had a housekeeper, a butler, a chef, a hairstylist, a makeup artist and a personal stylist. I would have a walk in closet bigger than most other rooms people sleep in. I would have floor-to-ceiling racks that light up, and of course they would be filled with shoes. Not only would I have color-coded shoe racks, I would also have power-operated clothing carousels. I would make those color-coded as well. Do you see a trend in this movie? I’m a type A person (hint: sort of like in real life).

I would also have a room solely dedicated to all things beauty! I would have all of my designer handbags on display. I would have a station to have my makeup artist work on my face. I would have another section for my hairstylist to fix my hair. I would also have extravagant drawers upon drawers for my overabundance of makeup because, after all, every girl needs 100 slightly different toned nude lipsticks -- am I right?

I would also have been the Homecoming Queen. I’d be a singer, dancer and cheerleader. I would also be fluent in English, Spanish, French and Italian. I would go on 10 vacations a year and have my own private jet, yacht and three cars. One for every other day -- duh! I would also have a professional recording studio, professional movie theater, full bowling alley, game room, casino, gym and dance studio. I would carry around a different designer purse each day with my teacup doggy perched in my bag. I would also have a wealthy boyfriend that buys me designer clothes, shoes, handbags and cars.

Let’s not forget that, in “perfect land,” I would also most likely never have to work a day in my cushy life! But hey, if I’m like Elle Woods, I miraculously become super smart overnight. That’s another thing. If my life were a movie, I wouldn’t be stressing over grades and studying for the LSAT right now. After all, in a movie I wouldn’t have to crack open one LSAT prep book in order to get a perfect 180 score and be accepted to Harvard Law on a full ride scholarship, as if. Cue the "Legally Blonde" quotes.

Anyway, let’s be real. Life is not like a movie. There is no way I would want my life to be even remotely like a movie. The thrill of achieving goals and meeting new people every day is a wonderful privilege.

But if my life were made into a movie, who would play me? Vanessa Hudgens? Shailene Woodley? Jennifer Lawrence? Jennifer Love Hewitt? Reese Witherspoon? Kate Hudson? I could never choose... could you?

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.
