we all make mistakes

Regret
Barbara Garretson

I was organizing my room and I came across this photo. I stared at it for a few minutes meanwhile I was getting emotional. A few years back this photo didn't look like this. I had my feet in the photo. For majority of you know over the years I've opened up about having brachymetatarsia. Let's just say it was harder then you all probably think. But the amount of love I received was unbelievable. It was hard to accept that I was different. My experiences telling my loved ones was a weight lifted off my chest. Not because I kept it from them. It was me being comfortable and not knowing if they would accept me for me. With all the acceptance I received it became easier to wear sandals and flip flops around them. A few years ago I wasn't thinking. I hated this photo because you could see my flaws. So I decided to cut off the bottom of the photo. Today as I was staring at this photo I got emotional because I regret doing it. I can't ever get it back the way it was. After realizing what I did I know now to think about the future and not in the moment. As I know there's no way of going back in time but now I have to live with knowing that I made a mistake. I'm human we all are. It happens. I also realized back then I wouldn't of known where I'd be feeling the way I do about my brachymetatarsia today. Therefore, I am grateful that I still have this photo and to remember the details of what I felt that day and how crazy it is to know where I stand. I want to thank all my loved ones on the continuous support even though it doesn't seem like a big deal, it's always been to me hiding from the world.

Love the girl who makes mistakes

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.
