Why I Write

It's more than just a hobby

For as long as I can remember, I have loved to write. I would open a blank word document and just start typing. I would type whatever came to mind. This has always been something that I enjoyed doing in my free time. For a while, I thought about going to school for creative writing, but I decided not to. I didn’t want to ruin the magic of writing. I was worried that I would get sick of it. Instead, I continued to write for fun. I enjoy writing about whatever topic comes to mind, whether it be fashion, music, travel, friends, or anything else I can think of. It’s an incredible feeling and one that can turn any bad day around.

Sometimes writing can be hard. I can face writer’s block and the struggle of not having anything to write about. I can stare at a blank document for hours and still have no idea what I want to say. It always leads to a moment of panic where I worry that I have nothing to write about. But once I figure it out, it’s the best feeling. I end up being able to write something that I feel good about, something that I’m proud of, and overall something that I enjoy reading. It may be difficult at first, but it always ends up being worth it.

Writing is the perfect form of self-expression and creativity. It’s a way for me to express my thoughts and to have my voice be heard. There is something so freeing about putting my thoughts and ideas onto paper. I am able to relax and just write whatever is in my mind. It’s a way to release my mind from the stress of schoolwork.

It may not always be the easiest to just sit down and write, but it always ends up being worth it. Writing takes my mind off of school for a while and I always feel proud of the work I’ve created. I love to write and I don’t think my love for it will ever die.

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.
