A Message On Heaven's Answering Machine
Chad Bird

Please leave a message after the tone

"Hi. I'm not even sure if you'll get this but hey-I figured that I'd give it a try. I don't wanna say that I think I'm actually calling you, I realize you're gone and you can't pick up the phone. I'm not even sure where I'm calling, if there is heaven or if you're just part of the sky. I'd like to believe that heaven is real, that someday I'll see you there again. I'd give anything to have that peace of mind, but for now I'll just hold out hope. Anyways if heaven is a place where you are, maybe somehow you'll hear this.

I miss you. It's weird that you aren't here anymore. You've missed so much, so many happy things and sad things; a lot of in between things too. There's so many things you're going to miss too, my college graduation and my wedding day.

I find myself being happy even though you're gone, and sometimes I feel a little guilty for it. Guilty because you didn't get to see this day. I wonder what you'd do with this day if you had been here for it. I'd like to think I'm living life for you, in a way that would make you proud of me. Maybe I am and maybe I'm not, but either way I'm trying. I' think you're proud of me just for that. I know I'm proud of you, how valiantly you lived, and the effect you had on all those around you. We all miss you. The world misses you and although the days are bit more gray without you I know when the sun shines you're behind it. I feel your presence in the smallest things everyday. I guess I just wanted to tell you that I miss you, and I know that somehow you're watching over me. So maybe I'll see you someday, if not I love you. I miss you. Bye"

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.
