Losing A Loved One

When God takes our loved ones away.

Always on my mind, forever in my heart.

Unfortunately, sometimes tragedy happens in life and these tragedies will take us back. You can never be prepared enough for some of the trials life throws your way.

One of the curveballs life throws your way is the loss of a loved one. Whether the loss was unexpected or expected, it still hurts and is a very painful process to work through. Death is hard to grieve because you have to fully understand that the person you love is not coming back. Never let anyone push you to grieve faster than you need to. Grievance is a process that should not be pushed.

Know that you are not alone! There are people around you who are there to hold you up when you just can't hold yourself up. Know that is OK to lean on someone! You are not expected to grieve the loss of someone you loved so much alone. There is a loving God that will never leave you alone, no matter the situation. Find peace in the face of trials for you are never alone!

There is a God that walks beside us through these losses. My God is always here and always comforting through the good and the bad. At times, it can be hard not to question why God took our loved ones away. In this time, you have to understand that his plan is much bigger than ours.

Hard times will come, I wish I could say the opposite. Cherish the memories and know that they are looking down on you! Try to find peace in the hard times, and do not have a hard heart! For you are much stronger than you think, and God will hold your hand always

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.
