We All Need This Carrie Bradshaw Mentality

We need to have faith in ourselves.

We All Need This Carrie Bradshaw Mentality
Emma Rappaport

We all can’t wait for the day when we finally meet our soulmate. We dream of love and affection, good times, and finding your other half. You may be thinking right now of a significant other being this person. Yes, that can be true, but does your soulmate really need to be your significant other?

Lately, I’ve been watching a lot of "Sex and the City," and Carrie Bradshaw (who I think I am) said to the girls, “Why don’t we just be each other’s soulmates?” Now, who are you really thinking of being your soulmate?

Maybe instead of waiting around for that special someone (or you already have that special someone), you can look right in front of you and see who has been there for you through thick and thin. From bad breakups to drunk nights, guy or girl these people are your best friends, and you may consider family, rather than friends. Sometimes they are even the people who you say to each other "Oh we are so going to hell" because you all know deep down, you're crazy (but the best kind).

I feel like everyone always gets so caught up with finding 'the one'. What is the rush? You have your whole life to be married. Don't rush into something. Good things always take time. Enjoy yourself with these few days.

So, if you are ever down on yourself about being single, think about all the soulmates that you have in your life! They are right before you, hidden in plain sight. Either it’s the boys, or the girls, in the words of Carrie Bradshaw: “Why don’t we be each other’s soulmates?” and embrace the true love and soulmates we have around us.

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.
