Sage Brush Mountain

A poem about home

Sage Brush Mountain

My mom use to sing about a mountain

And a town that lay silent below

She sang of valleys of treasure

A sage brush mountain

With salmon skies set aglow

I may have been nine

when I found sage brush mountain

looking at the River bend

I could hear the pattern of wind

Silent whurling white flurries

I thought, "this may be a true godsend"

So thank you For the sage brush meadows

Cause so many just see ghettos

oh I know

know that you know

Guess the mind is truly subject

To the home in which it grows

It surly shows

Oh It surly shows

Time cycles on sagebrush mountain

It's there I will go

To see the pale snow

Alone in my mind

I ran up sage brush mountain

I had no service to send

It was here I started to find

This place killed my slight worries

Sagebrush mountain had something to lend

Everything's just fine, you still have time

Time, time, to grow

Time to know

It's strange but I've found

When you're by yourself for miles

You start to understand

what it actually feels like

what it feels like to be alone

So thank you For the sage brush meadows

Cause so many just see ghettos

Oh I know

know that you know

Guess the mind is truly subject

To the home in which it grows

It surly shows

Oh It surly shows

Time cycles on sagebrush mountain

It's there I will go

To see the pale snow

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.
