If you have never watched Rent, I highly recommend that you do. It tells the story of struggling artists in NY, the show drops some valuable life lessons along with teaching viewers about love, addiction, sexuality, freedom, and the importance of friendship. However, it also depicts each individual character's personality with a deeper insight. Viewers can learn many things from each character, personally, I believe that they learn more from Mimi. Bold, and free-spirited Mimi isn't Afraid to put herself out there nor does she let the past or future stop her, and Although she's sexy and tough, her friends know that she's sweet, and would do anything for them. She's a survivor and would do anything it takes to get by while also being a joy to be around. Her character is just so wonderful you can't help but to love her.

There are six major lessons that I have personally learned through Mimi myself. The first being that the world doesn't stop just because you go through hell. everyone fights their own battles with life it's just all in the mindset and whether or not you choose to learn from it and come out stronger. Second, Don't hold onto the past or dwell on the future... although it may be hard, let go and move on and don't worry too much about the future because we can't control our own destiny. The third lesson I learned is, there is no shame in asking a man out. The worst thing that could happen is that he'd say no if he says no he wants something else and nothing is wrong with you. The fourth lesson NEVER take loved ones for granted. You never know what tomorrow brings and you never really know what you have till its gone. Know what you have once you have it and never let go, and ALWAYS remind those you care about that you love them.

The fifth lesson I learned is live in the moment and live everyday like it's your last. " forget regret or life is yours to miss".

The sixth and final lesson I learned is fighting for love. Love knows no limits, however, if you don't want it enough you don't deserve it .If anything, the important things are worth fighting for.

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.
