You have made me into who I am today.

A Letter To Everyone I Have Ever Met
Amanda Rivera

This letter is to everyone I have ever spoken to, to those I am really close with, and those to whom I have become distant with. To those who have done me wrong, and those who have done me right. I want you to know that you have all shaped me into being a better person. You either have shown me examples of what not to do, or what the right thing is to do.

You have lied to me, and done me harm. You treat me like garbage to make me understand what I truly want and deserve out of a person, which is not that. You maybe even have taken my friends away from me, to make me realize who my true friends are, I have seen the way you are to me, and to others.

You open my eyes to make me believe that the world isn’t that bad of a place, and that there is still good out there in a world of darkness. It can be even as small as a smile, or a gesture, just to make my day seem a little brighter, and that people are good, and that there is love out there. You were there for me in my darkest of times, you stayed with me through those times, showing that you care, and making sure that everything is going to be okay.

You can say a few words that can completely change the game. Either they are words of kindness, or words of hurt. They all inspire me to do different things, and think about things deeper, and realize that I may be completely wrong, or right about something.

You made me realize that I need to be tougher in the world, and that your words and actions can’t bring me down if you are trying to bring me down. And sometimes a few of your words, can completely change my world for the better.

Whoever you are, and what you ever meant to me, big or small, in kindness or in hatefulness, thank you for being who you were and are to me. You have shaped my world and formed me into the person I am today learning from you, and in all honesty, I would not be the same if I hadn’t ever met you. You helped me filter out the bad, and bring in only the good, people with real love and kindness, which is what I know I deserve.

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.
