Getting Lost

It's not as scary as you'd think.

Deep within the woods, trees lurk with large gaps in their bark. The bark on the trees nurtures a murky brown color, with several little deteriorations from the number of times they had been utilized.

Not only does the crevice of empty space provide shelter for animals, it also provides an escape for the sounds heard amongst the night’s escapade. In and out, the sounds would come. A person can hear them achingly close if they were to stand amidst it all, as many people often do. They usually question the noises that brush against their ears, and question what could make something sound so achingly eloquent.

Although, after the questions are thought and the answers are hidden, those curious people tend to wander. They tend to wander their own mind’s route, letting the question of that sound be clearer. When people can’t see, they imagine they can.

People often don’t think of the little sounds just being squirrels, or a rustle being a chipmunk running into its hole in the bark. Instead, when vision is obscured, ultimate creativity is released. Suddenly, the sounds heard by people are not squirrels, or chipmunks, or even rain. They are the creativity hidden within people. More often than not, people’s minds wander when sight is evaded, and thoughts are provoked. It happens so easily, even just simply by the setting people reside in.

Getting lost physically and mentally heightens people’s senses, stirs their emotions, and evokes a creativity deep within them that’s deprived when they are certain of the outcomes.

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.
