Sometimes transitions are simple, and some are not

There is something refreshing in the transitions that all of us go through life, in fact, if you think about it there are a lot of aspects of ourselves that are being shaped and molded into something new each and every day. The things we read, the music we listen to, the films we watch, the people we associate with all shape us, and there is a part of us that are aware of this, but we try not to notice until the final stage of the transition has completed.

Stopping for a brief moment, we will find ourselves thinking about what we were like a week ago, a month ago, even a year ago, and we will notice that there is a huge difference how we change as people. There is a line in one of the most famous songs that comes out of the 90s titled, "One Headlight" by The Wallflowers that makes the statement, "Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same". When you think about this in the context of what we are talking about then we can all agree that we have this weird transition where we are unsure of who were are and where we are going.

While it can be daunting at times, it is also quite invigorating. There is something beautiful in this chaotic mess of trying to figure ourselves out, figure out where our passions lay, what path we are meant to take, and finding the answers and solutions to the questions that are burning deep inside.

As 2021 continues to take its baby steps into springtime all of us are going to find ourselves in a world where things around us are going to change drastically in more ways than one, and while we are hesitant and unsure, there is bound to be a silver lining. There is always going to be positives and negatives in life, and while this pandemic is still the negative aspect of it, all of us are going to find the positives that are lurking beneath.

Maybe you will find different aspects of yourself that even your own family never knew. Maybe you will find a passion or a hobby that you enjoy. And maybe, just maybe there might be someone out there in the midst of the chaos that was meant to walk by your side, and be a companion.

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.
