Life Is Too Short For Regrets

Life Is Too Short For Regrets
Google

From the moment we first open our eyes to when we take our last breath, we are given one life. One life to make as much of a difference in this world as we possibly can. One life to impact as many lives as we can. There are no do-overs. No matter how much we wish we could, we just can't. We just have to make the most out of every situation we are given. Life is too short for regrets. We regret more of the things that we don't do more than the things we do.

So say what you need to say. Do what you need to do. It's okay to skip the gym and eat that chocolate cupcake. The gym will still be there tomorrow. Tell the person who means the world to you, how much you love them because you don't always get a second chance. Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them and how much they mean to you. We never know when the Lord is going to call us home. Don't go to bed angry over something that won't matter that much in a week. It's not worth the stress and the pain that you're putting on yourself. Don't burn bridges with people because you never realize how many times that you will have to cross over the same river.

You're not hurting the other person, you are just hurting you. We are all humans. We make mistakes. That is just a part of life. We live and we learn. Every mistake we make changes us. It shapes us into the person that the Lord needs us to be at that very moment. We never know how He is going to use us. There may be a person who is going through the exact same situation that you were and they need your guidance. You have a choice, either spend every day regretting the day before or move forward and make the best out of it.

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.
