Only You Can Determine Your Life

Life is a game

Only You Can Determine Your Life

No one wakes up everyday and knows exactly how there day is going to go--sure they have an "agenda" but throughout the day there may be some unexpected things occuring. Life is a game. It is a game full of obstacles and surprises. It's inconsistent, unexpected and each person's is unique, but at the end of the day we are all players in this game that develop along the way.

The most interesting thing about life is the way we create our own stories. Life has no guarantees. What fun would it be if each chapter of our life was already written? No one knows what to expect from life, but they figure out who they are/who they want to be/what they like and dislike along the way.

In life we are influenced and shaped due to our experiences, environment and surroundings. People can influence our likes/dislikes, environment can influence our perception of things, experiences can create memories, bad/good, that we can learn from. Only you can determine your life and the type of person you want to be.

Life is a game. Sometimes we fail, and sometimes we succeed. The obstacles that get thrown at us our nothing but tests to see how each individual can truly handle them. When an unexpected turn of events happens we perceive this as a reward. Whoever told you life was easy was lying. As we get older there is more to balance and more hardships we must face. Only you can determine what kind of life you want to live. We are all just players trying to "win" in life. Life is beautiful; life is precious, and it's yours.

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.
