Dear Younger Me,

You are enough. You are more than enough. You are more precious than rubies (Proverbs 3:15) and a jewel in God's Almighty crown. You don't have to do anything, prove anything, or say anything to earn this. You don't have to hold everything in or pretend like it's all okay–because it's not always going to be. But in the end you'll always make it through. By the Grace of our Heavenly Father, you'll be stronger and standing taller because of it.

You are free to be exactly who you are. God worked hard on creating you and He doesn't make anything that is useless or unworthy of His Love.

The tears, the pain, and the heartache; you're going to get through it all. And once you do, there's no going back. The only reason you should look back is to see how far you've come.

"Onto bigger & better things," you'll tell yourself. And oh how much better they will be! You may not believe me right now, but just wait til you see what I see. Because our story pretty amazing...and so is He.


Love,
Your Future Self
(p.s. Take advantage of nap time while you can)

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.
