Learn To Embrace Failure

Failures are often the learning experiences that lead to success

It's inevitable that we will all fail in life.

Nothing ever goes perfectly, as much as we wish it would. Even though we all know that things will go wrong, it still hurts when we don't get that job we wanted or get an exam grade you didn't want. Some failures are big and some are small, but they all sting. It's easy to let failures get you down and make you think you have to change your plans; don't feel like this. Embrace the failure and use it as a learning experience when moving forward.

Analyzing a failure after the fact is a good way to learn from your mistakes.

For example, did you not study as much as you could've? Was there an interview question you weren't prepared for? Looking at what went wrong in a failure can help you to fix things in the future; you can learn from what you did wrong, and make sure not to repeat that in the future. Failures are often the learning experiences that lead to success.

Sometimes, a failure just isn't your fault.

The world is unpredictable, and circumstances beyond your control can lead to failure. These failures are usually the worst since you feel as if you had no control over what happened. You may have been blindsided by what happened and wish there was something you could've done, even if there wasn't. Even failures like these must be embraced. Life has a way of working itself out; the failure may have been for the best and may even lead you to another opportunity you didn't expect.

If you experience failure, don't let it stop you from going after what you want.

Things rarely come easy. There is more than one way to achieve your dreams; if one way stops you, why give up? Learn from the experience and move on. Try something new, and don't let one bad incident prevent you from achieving your goal.

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.
