My Quest To Be Relevant

Ever since I graduated high school in 2012, I've come across an issue that really should't be an issue.

That issue is that I am no longer relevant.

Whether it be on social media or through my friends, I find myself constantly up to to date on the issues surrounding the United States and Hollywood. But there comes a point that I feel that no one is really listening to what I have to say...or tweet...or anything really.

What is it with ourselves trying to be popular?

Girl posting butts on instagram for a like and a follow, and on twitter a fellow foodie just wanting some nuggets from Wendy's. That last one made headlines across the globe for some reason. Just because of chicken nuggets..Ladies and Gentleman, I have a problem.

I've always wanted to be one of those social media influencers with thousands of followers and millions of subscribers on a youtube channel. But, that hasn't happened yet. No, I haven't had the confidence or whatever to make videos or post original thoughts on twitter, but when I do, no one really...cares.

Yeah thats the word. Why, you ask? Well, maybe you're thinking that he doesn't have enough active followers that tweet or etcetera. No, I do, but when it comes to that, people just really don't care what others have to say. I am that type of person that is more like a background character in a movie, that doesn't really talk or do anything of importance. I am the one of the few that really don't care to make such a fuss, besides writing this article. I'm no Kanye West or Carter Wilkerson of Chicken nugget fame, no.

I am Austin freaking Williams of Rochester.

Ny fame. I love pizza, taking photos and being a generally nice human being. I don't really care for the follows that I get or the subscribers I will get once I start up my youtube channel again. I have a life outside of this kitten photo obsessed place we call the internet.

I will always be relevant to myself, my family and my significant other.

No one can take that away from me.

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.
