On my love of metaphysics

People and Numbers

I truly do enjoy numbers, mostly due to a little thing called metaphysics. Basically, a bunch of dreamers decided that we can describe some of our more human aspects with math and science. After all they're just a study of for the world works and we are part of the world, hence we can be understood through these means.

I'm not gonna pretend that I'm very good at understanding people. Yet in order to move forward in life I have to try. So in a great gamble, I've put all of my fate in metaphysics. Hoping that amassing knowledge on one side will allow me to further the other. And to date it's held to an extent. I mainly chalk up the lapses in this technique to my own lack of understanding.

Quite frankly, the world of numbers and science is quite lonely. Yet I take solace because I'll never be alone because inside each single number, is an infinite amount of unique decimals. An infinite one. And I think people are like that. We all may just be a lonely 1, but inside us we hold infinite other numbers which hold other infinites. And each of these numbers are an answer to some question, it may or may not have been asked before, but it's there. We can call upon them at the ready. To me those, when I see the the lessons and beliefs of all those who ever taught you, who ever built you up, who believed in you; I see a number. And the sum of all these numbers are ourselves and it's a thing of beauty.

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.
