Dear future me,

I hope that you finished college with a degree in what you enjoy. I hope that you put the picture of money to the side, and found something you love with a passion.

I hope that you went and still go to church. I pray that you have confidence in yourself and walk with your head high. I hope that you don't sugar coat things, and stay bold. I hope that you still call your mom everyday, and always write your sister letters.

Oh, future me. I hope that you live somewhere beautiful. I hope you gained all the dreams that I am still dreaming of. I hope that you have puppies running around, and maybe even a teacup pig. I hope you have not lost your sense of humor, or your sarcasm. I hope that you never pass up an opportunity.

Most of all future self, I hope that you put others opinions last. YOU are who making yourself happy, not others. Current self might be struggling with this, but hoping that future self fixes it.

I hope that you never let any mountain scare you, and that you still feel hopeful when seeing them.

I pray that you marry the love of your life, and that you always stay with him.

I hope that you grow your education everyday, and never give up on yourself. I hope you impact your students lives everyday, and always remind all your students how wonderful they are.

I hope that you read so many books in your life that you loose count.


And most of all future self, please don't ever forget your past self and where you came from.

xoxo,

Past self

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.
