What Inspires You?

Inspiration comes in a variety of ideas and concepts, all containing a meaning for each individual. Everyone’s inspirations are different and allow for that individual to reach a goal or stay focused on a creative project.

1. The power of music is inspirational. One song can change your mood and lift your spirits. Although everyone’s preferred music tastes are different, all music is similar in that it evokes and allows people to present their emotions. There is music to fit everyone’s preferred music taste, which provides a way for everyone to express themselves within the concept of inspiration.

2. The idea of a support system of family and friends gives an individual the encouragement for them to follow their inspirations. Within their family and friendship dynamic, there is the knowledge of knowing that there will always be someone close to them to support them in their dreams. A support system allows you to express your inspirations freely without the judgment or the fear of disapproval (which will allow for growth and flourishing dreams and goals).

3. Positive people can inspire a stadium full of others which, in turn, spreads positivity across a location. These individuals demonstrate a sense of inspiration by promoting positivity and the concept of encouraging thoughts. These people can be random passerbys, professors, celebrities, youtubers’ or (and oftentimes) an individual of power. These individuals are the promoters of changing the world for the better and acceptance of individuals as they are presented. This lifts an individual’s spirits and gives them a sense that ambitions can be achieved.

4. Memories can be the most inspired influences in any individual’s life. They can give someone the power to change or alter their lives for the better. With memories being the building blocks to all goals and dreams, there is process of being inspired from and improving those memories.

When you think about your life and what you want from it, what do you think is inspiring you to reach your goals and dreams?

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.
