Every once in a while there are people who change just because of other people. So I have decided to write about the five steps you need to take in order to be yourself.

The first step is just to stop trying to be what others want you to be. Simple but mostly everyone has trouble with this since every person has a desire to be like someone else in this world. There is no need to be like someone else. You are perfect just the way you are. never let any tell you are something you are not.

The second step is to realize that you are perfect no matter your race, sexuality, or gender. We live in a society where we have fit a certain mold, but in reality, we can not fit the mold set for us. So why try and fit a mold that no one can fit to begin with? There should not even be a mold. There should be a display that shows who you are like an art museum shows different art.

Step three is to embrace your weirdness. Everyone and everything is weird no matter how hard they may deny it. They do band, art, music, writing and other things people don't usually see with people as they go throughout life. Every talent that is out there is unique and is should be appreciated by everyone.

Step four is to find something you love to do. Step three and step four go hand in hand with each other. Once you have embraced that weirdness that is inside us all, you have to become more aware of who you are and find that one thing that you love to do. Once that is done you should finally be able to follow step five of how to be yourself. But the one thing about this step is that it is one of the hardest things you could do.

Step five is just to simply behave like every day is yours. This final step is very simple because everyone already does it without even realizing it. You already try to be yourself but the mold that society has put in place to define what is cool, right or just but the mold is starting to break we just have to keep going.

To be yourself, you must be able to break out of the mold of society and make a display just for you and become who you are meant to be.

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.
