You try to please everyone.

You're the type of person that doesn't want to cause rough waters and you'll gladly design a birthday cake to your friends/family taste; because Aunt Becky doesn't like red velvet batter.

You over apologize about anything, even when it's not your fault.

How many of us have been here? A bunch of us. We feel pressured and instantly take the blame in any situation that makes us feel uncomfortable or when we feel tension. Once again, we'd rather take the blame than to cause rough waters.

When you're a sponge.

When I describe someone as a sponge, don't get offended. It just means you're soft. For example: When someone yells at you, gets short or snaps at you- they have squeezed all of the water of you (the sponge). So now, you're a dried up sponge that feels useless.

You want to help anyone.

Even if this meant we'd get home late, have to cancel a lunch date, ANYTHING. We want to help, shine our light and show kindness. Let ME, help YOU!

Remember that one time 10 years ago?

If we think of a bad memory, something sad or just a rough experience we feel that ALL over again. Yes, even if this happened months-years ago. We're sensitive!

We don't care about your past.

I mean this in terms as a friendship or relationship. If you burned people in the past, I'm sorry that's how things happen, but you have a fresh slate with me. Make it right because I won't judge you or think of you any different.

When the favors are returned, you're HUMBLED.

When even someone does the little things for us, it means A LOT! We give a lot and normally never get the favor returned.

We often try to keep people in our lives that want to leave.

Here's another tally where we feel stress on our heart. We want to love our surroundings, uplift everyone and it's like we feel disowned or abandoned when people go negative, shut us out and are trying to exit our lives. Even if it's the best thing for that one person to leave, we just want them so badly to stay it hurts.

We take things personal.

There should be no explaining to this one. If you're a soft-hearted person like me, you understand this.

You LOVE no matter what.

Here's the simple truth. No matter what we love our friends, family, neighbors, pets, significant other, etc. Not to mention, we're perfectly okay with being the softy in the group because our love isn't measurable.

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.
