A Little Darkness May Spark Some Light
Kei Nomiyama

Darkness, then a thump. And then no whisper, no sound at all. Dead silence was felt all throughout my hollow bones. I had no one to go to. I was left with a undefined being of a soul.

Weightless I floated, breathless I waited.

What was next could come at any moment or at any instant.

I wanted to know what was going to happen. Because in the next few moments of this life my future would be decided forever.

And I'm off, Five Mississippi, breaths are slowly inhaled and exhaled.

Four Mississippi, my fingers start to lose feeling.

Three Mississippi, I start to whimper as I'm about lose all sanity in what is this so called reality.

Two Mississippi, impatiently waiting ever so slightly for this treacherous experience to begin.

Then, one Mississippi, my heart leaves my ever dying soul.

Nothing, nothing, nothing, then bang, it hit me. Like a concrete wall being plowed through by a freight train. Just lying there ever so painfully knowing what just occurred, tormenting me like nothing ever could. Coming to a conclusion within myself as to what I just witnessed and what I just felt was something that not only could be not thought of, but something that plagues all of what has been dreamt of. I realized that in that mind killing and heart compressing moment that what I had once loved was now just an inevtiable mystery for someone else to solve.

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.
