A Pep Talk To The People Who Settle In Life

Settling in life might sound like the easy option, but it's going to hurt you more than help you in the long run. This is a pep talk for all of you guys who always just seem to settle for things in life. If you're sick of always getting second best or you want to make a positive change in your life then keep reading...

First off, you deserve better than second best. Don't always settle on things to make other people's lives better. Sometimes you just got to do something for yourself. Do this one thing for yourself and do not feel guilty about it. Don't let people walk all over you and prevent you from seeking the career path or the life that you really want. This is your life and only you should be the one who decides how you live it. Don't ever let someone tell you that you are not good enough to do something. You can do absolutely anything that you put your mind to. You are the best you that there is. There is only one of you and you choose the path you take in life.

If you settle you might miss out on what you really wanted in the first place, or something even better. I think that settling with relationships is especially harmful. If you stay with someone because you are afraid you won't find what you're looking for in someone else then the relationship is already doomed anyways. It might be scary to let go of something that you liked in the beginning but if it isn't working out anymore you need to accept it and let it go. Don't tie yourself down to someone you can't stand because you think they're your only hope for love. Trust me, you need to give yourself some more credit. If you don't take any risks in life then nothing amazing will ever happen.

Love yourself unconditionally, please. Everyone makes mistakes. Mistakes are normal. You just have to pick yourself up and try things differently next time. You live and you learn. It might seem like the end of the world right now but things will get better with time. If you tried then you can't beat yourself up about it. Some things are out of your control and you just need to accept the things you cannot change in life. But if you cant accept it, then maybe it is something worth trying to change. Learn how to pick your battles. Not everything is worth a fight. Sometimes, but only sometimes, It is in your best interest to settle. Just please don't make it a habit.

YOU ARE AMAZING and please don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You deserve the best in life and thanks for reading (:

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.
