And I hope that you are happy to be you!

I'm So Happy to be Me
Seedsoftheheart.com

I am full of many faults. We are all innately flawed human beings, and for the absolute majority of my life, I let this fact consume me. It is important to grow, and it is important to constantly work on the things about yourself that are not so good. But today I am going to take a break from that, and I am going to focus on why I am so happy to be me, flaws and all. Even though I'm not very good at doing crafty things, I still have really good taste. I hated the way that my hair laid when I cut it to my shoulders a few years ago, but I'm so excited because it is growing back quickly. It isn't quite where I want it to be yet, but it already hangs halfway down my back, and I am so impressed by my hairs ability to do exactly what I hope for it to do. I never have been the best at math and science, but I could write essay after essay and never once get tired of writing. I'm not very good at leaving a good impression on someone right away, but when people are patient with me, I am so lovable! I am not super clever, but I still can make people laugh. I didn't get the job that I really wanted last Spring, but I got an even better one that I will be starting in the Fall which goes to show that things really do end up working out for me, even when I become discouraged. I am goal oriented and driven to the point that it can annoy others, but I am grateful for these traits because it means that I am a hard worker. I am one of those weirdos that loves vegetables just as much as fruit, which (almost) cancels out that I love junk food as well. I always like to try new things, and I am rarely ever stuck in my ways. I'm nearly always caring and observant, and I love to work with people. Even though I dislike that I am extremely shy, I absolutely love being introverted. Even though I am a sinner by default, I love being His daughter, and I know that He loves me right back. I love that I am goofy. I don't always love the gap between two of my teeth, but I love that my smile is big and loose. I love that I ineract easily with cats and dogs, and I love that they almost always enjoy interacting with me too. I love that I like to read and that I like to take pictures too. I have a wide set of interests, and I always see a lot of good in other people. The point is, even though I am flawed and should be working on my flaws, it is really important to recognize that I am a very special and good person too. Sometimes I don't take enough time to give myself credit. When I sit down and think about what I love about myself, it makes it easier to approach the things that I don't like with a level head. I'm so happy that I am me and I am becoming the person that I am, and I really hope that you feel the same way about yourself!

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.
