Thoughts on love and self-acceptance.

You'll have to excuse me if this seems like a vent session but I'm mostly writing this because I know you'll read it all, or at least I'm hoping you do. Not only am I hoping that this helps you but I am also trying to help myself as I write this.

No need to worry I am fine. This just helps me think and contemplate my being here.

I am at a moment in time in which I am in full control. I choose when to sleep, I choose what to eat and I choose who I associate myself with. I'll admit that this enables me to do many things that I probably shouldn't do that'll only leave me exhausted. Despite having the lack of energy to do most of the things that I should be doing, I can finally say that I feel fine. The friends I've been able to make and keep for this long are the ones that I'll likely invite to my wedding day. If and only if that ever happens.

Of course, there are still a few things currently happening that I need to work on, like my disorganized lifestyle and inability to keep an exercise routine. I stare at myself in the mirror for too long because I know what parts of my body needs work. My brain is still wired to pick out my imperfections because I am the best judge for myself. Not because I know myself better but because I learned to keep out the negative things that everyone else had to say. Still, I don't think I've felt this comfortable with myself before. I've learned to cope with what I have and who I am thus far.

I am Saturday mornings with siblings and cartoons. I am a klutz who does not know how to wake up early. I am a blabbermouth that can't help it because I finally have someone that'll listen. I was a lost black sheep that strayed too far from the herd and had to make a new one. Now I am home and even though it needs work, it is where I feel safe and it is where anyone is welcome.

I love me and I am finally able to say I love you. I don't think I could've ever said that prior to this moment and truly mean it. Now it's your turn, love yourself and love me.

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.

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.
