To My Role Model, My Mom

I don't know why God has decided to bless me with a mother like you, but I am so thankful that He did.

To My Role Model, My Mom
Tala Winter

Since I was little, you've been the warmest light in my life. I don't know why God has decided to bless me with a mother like you, but I am so thankful that He did.

No matter what this crazy thing called life throws at me, I know I can get through it. That is all because of you.

You have so much strength, so much that I know you lend me some when I cannot find it myself. Somehow you do this without even fully knowing that you are doing it, which still astonishes me to this day.

You allow me to be completely myself, and you love every bit of it. Even if I feel alone, I know I never am. I always have you in my corner, someone who understands exactly what I am feeling.

Even if we haven't gone through the same things, you somehow make sense of everything I have been feeling. You listen, without judgment. You give me advice from the heart.

You always have my best interest in mind. That feeling is so reassuring. I know I can trust you to be completely honest with how you feel about the things that I tell you. In this world, that is hard to find.

Little do you know how much I admire the things that you tell me. One conversation with you can change my entire thought process. It can change my entire way of thinking. Sometimes I can get caught up in my head, feeling so much all the time. I know just by pouring it all out to you, I can start to think clearer. You make sense of the chaos.

Thank you for being my best friend, my role model, and my mom.

I aspire to be just a little bit like you. You are positive, strong, and such a beautiful person inside and out. You impact the world in such amazing ways, but you do it without expecting anything in return. You give so much of yourself to everyone, your heart stretches for miles long. You are always forgiving and being the bigger person in every situation. But at the same time, you are never forgetting who you are and your worth.

I look at you and see all things life has thrown at you, trying to knock you down. However, you never fall. You stand tall and let it make you grow stronger, wiser, braver. If you can do it, then I can, too.

I would love to see myself through your eyes because I know you see me the same way, even when I don't feel that way. Knowing that I have someone who views me in such a beautiful light, inspires me to see myself in that same way.

I hope you know how much I love you and the person you are.

Love always,

Your little girl.

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.
