If We Wrote About What We Love

Would it change anything?

Every week I write a new article.

Sometimes it's easy because the words are at the tip of my tongue, ready to spew onto the page.

When it's easy, it's usually because the experience or feelings are right there with me, waiting to be taken use of. Ready to be freed of something rather than just myself. Patiently remaining in the folds of my mind until they are properly processed into the words that fit the molds I desire.

A lot of times, it's really hard. To form the content I've been searching for. To be able to transfer the build up of experience and emotions I've not yet been able to appropriately refine for myself--as if I push myself too hard to find that place of discovery then it won't be the product that I envisioned. If that's the case, then I will never be satisfied with my writing until I'm ready to fully express it.

So yes, for me, writer's block definitely exists.

But I had a thought.

What if I just wrote about what I love? What if I focus on the things that get me through every day?

Why don't I do this more? Why don't I indulge in the little, most meaningful things that is provided to me on the daily?

If I did, I'd write about the following things:

1. My family who grounds me.

2. My long distance best friend who inspires me and loves me.

3. My roommate/best friend who's seen it all and is still okay with sticking around.

4. The guy who is just an all around good friend, always brings a good time, and who never fails to make me smile.

5. The girl in my life who follows her heart and reminds me to live life to the fullest.

6. The book I'm reading that I can't put down because I resonate on so many levels with the main character.

7. The coffee I drink every morning that gives me a fresh start and the energy I need to persist.

8. The season we're entering and how the change of the leaves remind me that seasons are just months which bring new experiences and adventures.

9. The poetry that sits on my nightstand waiting to be read in a moment of clarification.

10. The classes that I'm taking which remind me that I am on the right track.

11. The things I'm involved in that mold me into a new person.

12. The miles I've traveled and the things they have taught me.

13. My dog who gives me love when I don't deserve it.

14. The music that makes me think about life.

15. The places I've been which remind me that I've come a long way but still have a long way to go.

These are the little things, but they mean so much. These little things are a part of my every day routine. While most of the times it feels like I don't have anything together, the little things pull me into who and where I'd eventually like to be.

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.
