Revisiting Justin Bieber's 'Purpose' Two Years Later

I may not be a teenager anymore or stalk you in NYC like I used to, but one promise I will definitely keep is never leaving what I came to in the first place.

On Nov. 13, 2015, Canadian artist Justin Bieber released his fourth studio album.

During this time was when many were insisting that Justin would be on the road to his comeback. What type of 'comeback' do you ask? Well just in case you were under a rock over the past few years before this album, things were not all roses for the Canadian singer. The end of 2012 to late 2014 were known as the 'eggshell' years for us Beliebers. There were endless media stories from egging neighbors houses in Calabasas, his on and off again relationship with Selena Gomez and let's not forget the ever famous mob bucket incident. Not to mention being arrested in Miami for an alleged drag racing incident. Most would have said that within the next two to three years that his career was certainly over.

As a long Belieber from 2009, it scared me and others to death with questions that were up in the air about the future of his career. I was rooting for him all the way through and I just knew that something in me was saying that I was going to hold on for the right reasons. With the opening song "Mark My Words," it went to show that through all the scrutiny and struggles that he had faced, he was definitely in the face for one of the best 'bounced back' moments of 2015.

I used to watch back in the day when my sister fell in love with Usher. I have always wanted an entertainer that I could be there to say that I was there through all of the hard times and the best times. Yes, I am no longer ashamed to be that fan and say that. I can now say his name without it having to be a murmur of whispers and boos throughout. I used to hear his name and instantly hold my breath hoping whatever the comment was about to be wouldn't turn out so negative. I am proud and happy to say that two years later, I am STILL here and have no plans to leave anytime soon.

I am also happy to say that I was able to experience the "Purpose" tour the following summer. The fact that I am about to be a Belieber for over 10 years is unreal to even think about. It felt like just yesterday I was 15 in my bedroom, listening to "One Time" and gazing over that cute face and long bushy hair. Now at 23, I can still say that I am proud that he has found his purpose; I hope others have found theirs.

Justin, no matter how hard life may get. there is always a light through each tunnel. Even when things seem impossible, there are always ways out of it. I may not be a teenager anymore or stalk you in NYC like I used to, but one promise I will definitely keep is never leaving what I came to in the first place. Here for a good time and a long time (said by another famous Canadian). From hits such as "Sorry," "Love Yourself," "Company" and "Show You." This is one album that will continue to live through its name.

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.
