An Open Letter To The Baby I Conceived Just To See if the "This is What Your Future Baby Will Look Like" Simulator Was Right

Honestly, I was hoping you'd be cuter.

You're a wonderful gift, and I can't wait to see who you'll be.

But honestly, I was hoping you'd be cuter.

Facebook has this ability to just suck me in with their fun quizzes and headlines. When I saw that one of my friends from high school posted about what their future baby will look like, I couldn't wait to get in on the fun. So I followed the link, and it got to work right away. I didn't have to submit any information. No photos or anything. It really amazed me that a Facebook quiz could determine how my DNA and an unknown partner's would look in a real baby. So I wait about ten seconds to see my future flesh and blood on my iPhone screen. Incredible.

Here's what you were supposed to look like: Big blue eyes, thick golden hair, an adorable pink hat, and an Instagram filter.


The minute I saw this precious face, I couldn't wait to see you in real life. To post photos of you on Facebook, get endless likes, and make old friends jealous. So I did what anyone would do, and got to work! There was really no time to waste because sometimes in these Facebook quizzes, if you try them more than once your result changes. I couldn't risk that! I got to work that day.

I carried you for nine months, and could hardly contain my excitement. You were going to be here any minute.

Then you came. And you looked nothing like your Facebook photo. First of all, you were a boy, which made me wonder why you were wearing that pink hat in your photo. Never heard of a boy in pink before. You looked like a wrinkled old man in the form of a baby. And even though it confused me at first, you weren't even wearing that cute pink hat which I thought was a ripoff.

I'm sure you function the same, and at the end of the day, there's still time for you to get a little cuter, but I'll just have to wait until then to post pictures of you.

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.
