Late Night Drives
Start writing a post

Most times, late night drives are something that people are required to do. What I mean is, we only get time to do these drives if we have a destination we have to go to. A while back ago,I had to do these quite often and I find myself having to do these again because of some classes I have in the evening time. It is really crazy how people can be so different at various hours of the day. A whole new community of people come out at night. They always seem more calm and stress free. There is the lack of buzz around you, no rush (especially in driving), and the environment seems to easily match that description. The sky is often filled with colors. It 's a floating period for everyone. We are just moving along.

What I seemed to discover in my night drives is my extreme keen sense of what's around me. In the morning there is such a big rush that everyone is so anxious to get past. The light is bright. I am very much that morning person that can wake up and be ready to do work when requested, but I am very humbled by the night time. More so, in how it makes me feel.

I encourage everyone to go on a late night drive at least once after reading this to get what I mean. Everything melts away. I don't know what is in the air when this happens, but for a short period of time my head stops reeling. It says: "Stop and smell the roses." I notice the quiet houses, the few cars on the roads, the dim romantic like lighting nature provides, the low lights of the surrounding town, the fresh soft breezy air, and it really makes things clearer.

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.
