A Letter To Texas This Summer

Dear Texas,

This is a letter to let know you about the current crisis happening. You have ruined everything. As much as I appreciate everything here being bigger and better, I do not appreciate the larger numbers on the thermometer. Yes, heat is expected in the summer especially this close to the equator than the rest of America, but this is crazy. There is not a fan large enough or deodorant strong enough or glass of water tall enough to prevent us Texans from burning in the heat. Not only that, there is a reason clothing is meant to be worn. And when this sort of heat strikes, less clothing is worn when a lot of the time, more should be worn on some. None of these are good results, Texas!

In trying to cool off, we fail every time. People may think, “oh wow, it’s such a hot day outside, I should take a cool dip in the pool.” But, when toes are first dipped in with high expectations, the pool water is basically bath water. You’ve ruined pools in the summer. Since we can’t utilize our nice holes in the ground filled with bath water, we try and at least go outside. However, sunscreen melts off our bodies, and by the next day, we are tomatoes. Not to mention the fact that we have embarrassing sweat stains on our clothes. We might as well forget wearing colors that show sweat easily and throw them in the garbage now. Texas, this is just cruel.

Since I can’t even think about stepping out into the blistering heat, the least I can do is attempt to eat food that cools me off on the inside. But you ruin that too, Texas. If I want ice cream, I have to make sure I stay inside to eat it. What a cruel, cruel thing you’ve done to me. I just want to enjoy ice cream or maybe a snow cone or maybe have my ice keep its shape in my drink. Every food I eat turns into an episode of CSI: messy, scary, and deadly.

For as many reasons I like you, I just wanted you to be aware of your major mishaps. I would really appreciate it if you could provide me with more shade, more air conditioning, or just less heat. Either way, something has got to change.

Sincerely,

Melting Texas Residents

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.
