Ode To My Two Ton Clunker

I feel that our time is running short...

Ode To My Two Ton Clunker

I fear that my time with us might be short, but I wanna let you know that you’ve been good to me for the past seven years. When I needed four wheels with good gas mileage, a decent body and a five speed transmission, I knew you were the one for me. You were my transportation to wherever I needed to be that day: from the dreaded trek to my crappy call center job, to across state lines to meet friends and go to anime conventions, and the roughly combined two hour drive I take too and from school 5 days a week, you have been through all of it with me. However, I feel that our time together is starting to get short.

You have been my strong, sturdy, silver, steel steed to my desired destinations, but I feel that you might not last too long. When I bought you, I knew you came from an accident and bandaged back together, so you weren’t in perfect shape from the start. But I’ve seen over the years that through all we’ve been through, you’ve started to come apart piece by piece. Replacing the fuel pump, headlights, changing the radiator, going through tires and break pads, a failed emergency break line, a faulty ignition starter and a loose front bumper are just a few examples of your age starting to show. However, you have still remained true and faithful to me all these years, and you still start up on command as if everything was fine like the day before. I feel as if our time together is becoming short, and I need another ride to last me for another seven or more years from now, and I don’t know how much time you might have left.

But one thing will still remain true for every day that I still have you; I will be faithful to you as you have been to me. I have done all that I can to make sure you still start up when I leave the house, because you are all that I have in terms of transportation. I have kept up with your insurance, oil changes, and yearly registration to keep you running on the road to this day. I feel as if you are my Going Marry from One Piece, a ship that was held together for the Straw Hat crew that made due with what they could get in order to keep the ship alive. However, the Mary eventually sunk in the ocean, no matter how much love the crew gave the ship to keep them going further on the oceanic horizon. Bianca, you are my Going Mary, and I will keep driving you till your last moments, because you are all I have, and I am all you have. I may say at times that your a piece of crap, but your my piece of crap, and I only name the crap I care for.

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.
