Finding Peace In Life’s Plan

When things just seem so busy.

I am that person who loves having plans. I love knowing exactly what will be happening in my life for the next month ahead, because as long as I am busy and using my time wisely—I am happy. I often find that with college, this ability somehow diminishes and I do not always know what life has in store for me

As every semester hands me an even busier schedule, this often brings more uncertainty on the path I am on, as there is simply no time to make any set plans. As these plans are what I often strive for, life sometimes feels very discombobulated, and lately, it has been feeling like this more-so than usual.

There is about a month of classes left of the fall semester, which is absolutely crazy to process as I feel like school just started. As I got off the plane from Japan at the end of this past summer, I was quickly back in school, traveling back and forth to NYC for fashion shows, and the Macy's Day Parade is almost here.

Aside from these events, I have not had much time to set any other plans, so aside from these few things that have been set into my schedule, I've just had to let life do its thing.

When life continues on its crazy path of providing me with a very busy schedule, I just have to learn to accept that life has its plan. Often times, I continuously fall into the pattern of putting a deadline on very, very large accomplishments that I think are somehow achievable within a months time.

Yes, I would absolutely love for these things to happen, but when they don't work out, being able to accept the fact that it simply was not in my life's plan for this time is what I need to remember to do.

Rather than being discouraged on not being able to accomplish everything I want to at the time, or not being able to attend every event that my busy schedule does not allow me to go to, I need to learn to accept the fact that I am doing the best I can. And that is how I am learning to find peace in life's plan.

It's a journey—but I am definitely learning along the way.

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.
