Open Letter To My Mother In Heaven

One day those pearly white gates will open and I will see that pretty smile yours. One day everything will be okay.

Open Letter To My Mother In Heaven

3 years, 6 months, and 19 days.

185 weeks and 3 days.

1298 days.

31,152 hours.

1,869,120 minutes.

112,147,200 seconds.

That is how long the world has continued to turn since your soul, your beautiful soul left this earth. That is 1,298 sunrises that your eyes have yet to see. Your ears have become deaf of the sounds of our laughter. Your arms have been deprived of the warmth of our touch. Your heart perfect from the lack of ability to handle our pain.

I miss you.

I thought it would slowly become easier but some days the world flashes back into the moment you were taken away. I don’t see that going away for quite a while.

Our memories slowly becoming more difficult for my imagination to bring to real life. Slowly become just thoughts that pass through my mind occasionally. Your voice, a sound I thought I could never fathom to not hear a day in my life, wandering away as each day the world turns.

Sometimes I feel like I am the only one who remembers you, at times you come off as a figment of my imagination. What we had, the connection it feels so unreal now.

These feelings won’t last forever, I continue to tell myself this daily. As I have for the past 1,298 days.

It might not become better today, tomorrow, or even months from now. That is okay though, I have a reason to be sad. I have a reason to miss your beautiful voice and your warming touch. I had a chance to have such a beautiful, caring woman as my mother and that is the only thing that matters.

A sunshine is nothing without the sun, eventually they shall meet again.

I love 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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
