An Open Letter To My Future Self

"Cherish the little things, don’t take anything or anyone for granted, and live every day to the fullest, because life is too short to lead a life of mediocrity."

Dear Future Me,

I hope that you are incomprehensibly happy with how life is at the moment and continues to be that way. I hope that you are doing things that make you happy and not what makes other people happy.

I hope that people have learned not to take you for granted and that you are not a pushover. At the same time, I hope you are giving and kind human being and that you use your blessings to bless others.

I hope that you feel fulfilled in the best way possible. That you feel full because of the important things, like the people you have surrounded yourself with and the faith that you keep and not materialistic things or by what others think about you.

If you by any means feel you are empty or unaccomplished, take charge of your life and change that.

It is never too late to make a difference in your own life no matter how old you get. Don’t be scared to take risks for the sake of your own happiness.

At the same time, remember that life won't always turn out the way that you had so desperately hoped, but know that everything happens for a reason.

Remember that some things are beyond your control, whether you want to believe it or not. So be strong and confident in what life throws at you.

I hope you always stay close to the family. No matter how far away you move off or how busy life gets, don’t forget to keep communication with the people who love you unconditionally. Your love for them always deserves to be acknowledged.

I hope you are physically and mentally healthy. If you feel like there is ever room for improvement in those areas, then make the necessary change. It’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your own health.

Don't forget to take some time for yourself every so often for the sake of your own mental health. It's okay to want to have some alone time when life is so hectic.

Don’t forget to go out and have fun as well. You are only given one life, so take the time to enjoy it. Life doesn't always have to be so serious.

Never forget that there is always room for self-improvement. Sometimes when we’re too busy taking care of others, we forget to take care of ourselves. Put yourself first when you can, meditate, and always be positive.

Don’t ever lose sight of who you are. You are kind, strong, and a difference maker. Don’t ever let anyone else tell you who you are in this world because most people are ignorant and no one knows you better than yourself.

Most of all, I hope that life treats you kindly, but that you also know how to be thankful for the days where it feels like the complete opposite.

Cherish the little things, don’t take anything or anyone for granted, and live every day to the fullest, because life is too short to lead a life of mediocrity.

Sincerely,

Yours Truly

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.
