Miscommunication Much?

I might not have clearly defined my purposes or goals in some of my articles.

Miscommunication Much?

I wanted to clarify something. I believe there may have been some problems with interpretation and clarification of some of my previous articles. It is my intent with my writing endeavor on this website to write honestly and give clear, understandable presentations. However, for some it may not be that way. Perhaps two or three of the articles I have written will make great examples to illustrate this point.

First, there's "5 Spiritual Lessons We Can Learn From 'Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood."Perhaps, this should have been called "5 Spiritual Applications of 'Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood." I asked a friend what they though of the article, and they said that it seemed somewhat like I was elevating the show too much with the things of God, and that people could think they could just watch the show instead of going to the Bible. Let me be clear. I believe the Bible should be the final authority on everything, and I try to live up to that principle as well as I can. Do things of the world pale in comparison to the glory of God? Yes. Does God show his influence in the world? Also yes. My intention is not for people to just be good with the spiritual themes found in the show. Instead, I wish to use the applications of the Bible to the show in order to pique the curiosity of readers to further investigate the Bible for things to apply to their lives. Perhaps the article could have been written better, but above is my explanation.

Furthermore, there was my article about my fanservice. I realized later that I may have been setting a bad example. At the time, I was still watching "Code Geass," the talking point of the article. I actually ended up finishing the series, but in retrospect, I honestly regret watching it now. Though the show had a well-crafted story, it was plagued by distracting images and angles that should not be seen by some viewers. As a follower of Christ, I should be an example to other believers, whether they be young or old. Normally I carefully examine a show's content through sections of IMDB before watching something. I check "Code Geass" about a thousand times on there (at least that's what it felt like), but I decided to watch it anyway, because the guide made it seem like the bad moments were few and far between. However, I was mistaken, as there seemed to be a few instances per episode. That is why I regret it now, and why I am reminding you that I shall try to be a better example.

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.
