Dear Parental Units (Mom and Dad),

You guys are the best parents a girl could ask for, and this year, I am making you guys my valentines. I would like to start this buy saying thank you. Thank you making me the person I am today. Thank you for providing me the beautiful home we live in, my loud and obnoxious sisters, and for all the love you have given me. Thank you for teaching me how important family is, and for moving us to a town where we can be close to everyone. And lastly, thank you for always being there for me and my sisters, even though we can be brats and fight all the time.

I love you because you taught me to be humble and appreciate everything I have. After leaving home and meeting people from all different backgrounds, I appreciate you so much more. You have always supported me in everything I have done. You have taught me to appreciate what I have, and not envy other’s peoples things. You taught me to not out people down in order to make myself feel better, or look down on people who have less than me.

I love you because you made our family so close knit, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. You made us turn off the TV and sit down for family dinner every night, unless Avatar: The Last Air bender was on. You had us go to grandma’s and grandpa’s for a family dinner every Sunday and visit with our amazing grandparents. You made sure that we knew our heritage, and what it meant to you and your family. You taught me how important having a family and a support system to lean on is, and for that, I am forever grateful.

I love you because you have always put on a brave face for me and my sisters. You always have provided us with a safe home. When things got scary, whether it be potential job loss or a family member sick, you always made it seem like you had everything under control. You never let your weaknesses show, and that always made me feel safe.

I love you because you make me happy. Dad is always making weird jokes and Mom thinks he’s the most hilarious person in the world, and that makes me happy. Seeing you together makes me happy since not everyone has parents who are still so happy together. You make me happy because you will always eat the food left on my plate if I feel bad for not eating it. And speaking of food, you always make food that caters to all our different tastes. If one person doesn’t like the food we are eating, you will make them something different.

I love you and that’s never going to change.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
