What's so wrong with letting people be happy?

I love seeing people happy. Whether they are happy in their relationships, just had a baby, announced they're pregnant, or just secured a new job, I love seeing it.

What I do not love seeing, is the constant negativity surrounding these things, especially on social media. I'd like to think that maybe it's something that only i'm seeing, but it's not. People are constantly negative about other peoples happiness.

If someone gets pregnant, there's automatically 100 indirect statuses about it saying they're, "too young" or "why would they want to have a baby right now?"

If someone gets engaged or married, "they haven't known each other long enough" or, "that's gonna end in divorce."

If someone is posting how thankful they are of their significant other on social media, "do they really need to write paragraphs about each other every week?" or, "I bet they're really unhappy in person."

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but do you really need to form such a negative opinion about something that's nothing to do with you? Do you really need to form such a negative opinion about what is supposed to be such a happy time? Posting how you would never have a baby this young, or how you would never gloat about your new job, or how you would never get engaged this young; makes you look like an unhappy, sh*tty person.

I've been seeing it for years, however I only really noticed it until I stepped away from the negativity and started to be happy for other people. There's nothing wrong with having a baby when you chose to have a baby, there is nothing wrong with getting engaged or married when you feel like you're ready for it, there is nothing wrong with celebrating your relationship online, there's nothing wrong with being proud of your new job. So why are people so negative about it?

If they're happy about whats going on in their life, let them be. Being unnecessarily negative about other peoples lives says more about you than them. Are you that unhappy with your own life that you can't be glad when others are happy?

Everyone is entitled to happiness, when you constantly stop thinking negative of others you will be surprised about how happy you become. If you think positive about other people, you will start thinking positive about yourself.

Just let people be f***ing happy.

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.
