This season is interesting because the characters start to realize how much their present life and the events that continue to happen are forcing them to accept the truth.

If you have not watched "Luke Cage," then be prepared to get a brief summary of the season.

After binge-watching "Luke Cage" for a day, I gotta say that this season was better than the last one. I think this season had more powerful lessons in it than the first season.

In this season, every main character seems to be struggling with the same life lesson. Each character is having trouble accepting who they truly are. While they have trouble with that lesson, they also have trouble with another lesson that often comes with it, which is accepting your truths of your past.

This season is interesting because the characters start to realize how much their present life and the events that continue to happen are forcing them to accept the truth and accept what they do not what to. They start to realize this because they see that their past is in some way, shape, or form causing more harm to their life every time they are trying to find ways to make their life better.

For me, the characters I enjoyed the most that were coming to understand this life lesson was Luke Cage and Mariah. I think with Mariah, she had been trying so hard her entire life to not become her family's history that she realized that she was starting to become the people she tried so hard not to be like. Luke Cage was trying so hard to not deal with his past and the things that hurt him that he became his hurt and in turn, he ended up hurting the person he cared for the most.

I think this season focused a lot more on self-awareness and self-understanding because, in my opinion, this season focused a lot on the characters thinking about their own individual lives and trying not to put caring for their own lives over caring for the lives of others and vice versa.

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.
