An Open Letter to All the Lost Boys

“There was a time when I was alone.”

In a way, a lost boy can feel like a misfit, such as in Rudolph and the Island of Misfit Toys, and a sense that we don’t belong in a certain place. That place could be school, home, a job, or even some type of functional gathering. A lost boy can feel self-conscious when others stare and whisper of how they act, dress, speak, or stand. It can cause depression, or even a sense of not wanting to leave home.

“He came to me with the sweetest smile, told me he wanted to talk for a while.”

When that lost boy is with a person, group, or anything inspiring them to smile, they feel safe, warm, happy, and normal. They can be goofy, serious about what they love, and can be themselves. However, it's hard to find that niche of being wanted, and to be open about themselves.

““Run, run, lost boy,” they say to me away from all of reality.”

A lost boy is anyone that will or won’t show that emotion of wanting to run away. I believe a lost boy is someone who will work hard in what they want to achieve that will lead them somewhere that could be like Neverland. That could going to college, finding a great job, moving somewhere new, or anywhere where one feels supported.

"He sprinkled me in pixie dust and told me to believe. Believe in him and believe in me."

Being supported or being loved is what one would like to have in their life. If there isn't support, then how is one suppose to feel if they do something great? Being at Neverland to them would feel like a party to them because they have that encouragement and is inspired to continue in what they love to do for who they are.

"Neverland, I love you so, You are now my home sweet home. Forever a lost boy at last."

If you are a lost boy - don't be discouraged or feel unwanted. You will always be wanted, even though you may not know it yet, or feel like it. When the time comes, you will see how those around you affected you in a way to become the person you are now, especially the ones that may have hurt you in any way. Think about it, if you have been through hell and back, then you are unstoppable. Right?

For those who are different and weird-like, heck, let people judge you. You're the one who is going to have more fun anyways. Just be yourself, and know they are plenty of others like you out there in the world. And if you are insecure about yourself, don't be. Someone will see through you and know that you are an amazing, talented person - I guarantee it.

"Peter Pan, that's what they call me. I promise you'll never feel lonely."

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.
