Tomorrow is a chance to change

Insecurities: A Poem

Insecurities are the negative feelings we have towards ourselves

Sometimes those big smiles you have grows old

That beautiful body you once teased and drowned with your words grows cold

Those beautiful eyes you have become glassy from all the tears that fell from them

That perky face droops because you stop smiling

Nobody knows you more than you know yourself

Nobody knows the pain you deal with everyday

My heart is so broken for reasons you would not even think, it is broken because I beat myself up everyday with insecurities

That the battle in my mind of loving and hating myself is at the same speed

One is never ahead of the other

Society has shaped us into people we should be, into the people we have to be

Or else we get made fun of

The sad truth about our world, about our society, about us as people is we only have one life to live

Loving yourself is very hard

But never starting, never even trying is what can kill you the most

So make something out of your life

Appreciate the things you would not expect too

And maybe you will find the love for yourself you have been longing for

But it cannot start without you trying, without you trusting, and without you believing

That the life we live now is only temporary

Make it memorable

Tomorrow is a new day

Tomorrow is a chance to start over

Tomorrow is a chance to change

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.
