It is not wrong to quit.

I honestly think I've said everything that I can say on this platform. I started this as a way to keep a regular writing schedule, and I've managed to maintain it for two and a half months, which is pretty good. I'm going to go use the time I used here to work on my personal projects and write the things I really want to write. It's been cool writing advice articles and having them read by people, even if it's only people that I'm connected to on social media.

In departing advice, all I really have to impart to you is this: Don't take everything so seriously. That isn't to say that there are not serious things, nor that nothing should be done to make these things right, but to only focus on those things and to allow them to pervade every aspect of your life is to allow those things to hold power over you and win. You decide the amount of sway something has on you by the amount of attention you pay to it.

We all have a limited amount of time here, a blink of an eye in relative terms, and this time should not be spent giving yourself over to sadness or hate or feelings of disgust. Instead it should be used for things that are good, such as understanding, outreach, research, and contemplation. Do with your time that which you know will make people smile, keep yourself grinning with passion all the way through. Love and forgive everyone, especially yourself. Walk the path that speaks to you.

In closing, these are words spoken to me in an hour of need that may have saved my life, and with these words I leave you.

"If you are not out to do evil, you can do no wrong. Have a beer, let's give you a ride back home."

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.
