A PSA On OPK

So there were quite a few people raging about kids and how their behavior is unacceptable. Some people going as far to say that they, not the kid’s parents, they are very much on board with smacking a child that isn’t there own. Other extreme cases say that kids shouldn’t be taken out in public if they cant keep their cool. There’s something I want you to consider. How the world treats a child shapes how they’ll turn out not just their parent’s influence alone. Also that while you may have apparently been some sparkling precious angel other are highly imperfect. These imperfections such as blunt honesty are what makes being around kids refreshing. We live in a world that lacks the ability to properly communicate so this just makes everyone’s lives a little easier.

Even if you have other people’s kids syndrome, opk for short, please bear in mind how you would want to be treated. Most kids don't go out for often because of people like you shamming hardworking mothers and fathers. Would you have really wanted to grow up and only go to school? You really don't remember what it's like to know virtually nothing. To quote John Malaney "I am very small, and I have no money, so you can imagine the kind of stress I'm under."

When you have your own nieces and nephews, whatever your views may be on family there's one thing that you can't really complain about. When your siblings have children and you become an aunt or uncle it's one of the most worthwhile things you can do. I've had my nieces and nephews in my life since I was Very young. I can say that it's only made me be a better person because I've thought about the kind of example I'm setting for them. From the moment you meet them, while you may not be particularly enthused, you know that you'd protect them.

Watching them grow up you know there isn’t a single thing you wouldn’t do for them. You see just a bit of yourself in how they act. You get to see how they change as they grow older and help them as they grow up. You kind feel [roud of them for getting so far even if they're still so young and they've got so far to go. All that you can hope for is that they grow up to be kind and happy. Our society is constantly changing so all you can really do is offer to listen to them and learn from them about where ever their interests lie.

To come to a close, we need to have a bit more empathy for the adults of tomorrow or they may lack empathy for us. Not everything is sunshine and rainbows but we can work to make things better for all of us in the long run.

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.
