Will you be a positive or negative tool?

To The Person Who Doesn't Feel Like They Are Enough
Cassandra Donnelly

We humans are so weak and so impressionable that we believe almost anything we hear or see without question or research. We are so impressionable that we allow our individuality to be inspired and greatly influenced by those who are simulated personalities of the media. Those "role models" are tools. Tools used to mold the minds of our young and upcoming generations, those who hold our future.

Sometimes the constant bombardment by social media’s portrayal of who we should be, gravely allows us to forget who we are. So sad because what social media doesn’t tell us and what social media doesn’t want us to know is how beautiful we truly are. You are so beautiful if only you knew. It becomes a challenge to look at yourself and love yourself for who you are. It becomes a challenge to love your suburban small town while others live in luxury in some of the world's most wanted destinations. It really just makes you feel like your life sucks. This is because we live in a generation that lives through social media rather than real life experiences. We have forgotten what it is to love ourselves and all that we are composed of. We compete rather than empower. We find it more important to be indulged in the drama of the rich and the famous rather than in our world's current issues. What we do not realize is that we are tools as well.

The party will go on if you aren't there. The world will continue around you. Always remember social media is not real life, never let somebody else's pictures or experiences make you feel insecure about yourself. Admiring someone else's beauty does not take away from your own. If you don't look like her and she does not look like you, that is how it is meant to be. You are meant to be you and no one else, your body is your home so love and respect it. When you look after it beautiful things happen. Let the secret out and spread it like wildfire. Everyday you wake up you are immediately given two options, to see the world in light or to see the world in darkness. Will you be a positive tool or a negative tool?

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.
