It's Not the Same To Everyone

"The soul becomes dyed with the colour of its thoughts." ~Marcus Aurelius

It's Not the Same To Everyone
Google

Isn't it odd how people try to fit a certain colour with one particular emotion? They try to tell you this means that, or that means this. They narrow everything down to one meaning and expect it to be the same for everyone, but what they don't seem to understand that what it means to you might be the opposite for someone else.

Like how for some the colour of the sky means freedom to spread your wings and fly away, but for him it's the colour of guilt at his uncle's wrecked convertible with their liquor soaking through the floorboards. They tell you that the colour yellow means happiness, but for some its the colour of grief and the hospital room where their mother lost her fight with cancer. And red is supposed to mean anger but for some it is colour of happiness and her mother's lipstick as she smiles at her son who's returned home from the army. Some say green is envy, but to some it is the colour of the grass and the feeling of contentment the day her boyfriend finally proposed to her. Black is meant to be fear, but to him it is the colour of peace that he finds in the night sky. Pink is supposed to be the colour of love but for some it is the colour of heaven on earth as they hold their blanket wrapped baby girl for the first time.

Everyone sees the world through different eyes, and so colours mean something different to every person. We are each so unique, so different, and one meaning could never cover all world.

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.
