New Years Isn't The Only Time For A New Beginning

Resolutions and fresh starts are what New Years is all about, but why should that be the only time we can start fresh?

Every time New Years roles around the world starts buzzing with talk of resolutions and starting fresh. Most of us role our eyes, no one ever keeps resolutions anyway and the "fresh start" line is cheesy.

But, deep down I think we all have a part of us that likes the idea of a new beginning. The year is brand new and you can be too.

This year instead of rolling your eyes at the thought of making resolutions and acting like you could care less about the thought of a fresh start, take some time to sit and reflect.

Keep an open mind and really allow yourself to think for a while. Think about your life, are there any things you wish you could change? Are there parts of yourself you want to improve? Do you seriously want to be more organized? Have you been going through a hard time that you really wish you could just move on from? Now is your chance to do any and all of those things.

The new year doesn't mean you need to up and change everything about yourself and your life, but it is an opportunity to reflect and really think about any changes you do want to make. You can start over.

But I don't think this opportunity for starting fresh should be reserved for New Years alone. I think we have the chance to change our life whenever we want. Tomorrow can be your new start. You can be a totally different person and make any changes you want next Friday. August 3rd could be the fresh start you need.

This is your life, that means you are free to change it WHENEVER YOU WANT.

So take advantage of the new year and make as many resolutions as you want (you don't have to succeed at them all), change as many things as you see fit, take this fresh start however you want to.

But remember that any and every day of your life can be a new beginning. This is your life, this is your time, every day is a new day, take advantage of it.

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.
