Imagine remembering a person you used to be. Some people live those memories everyday.

Reincarnation: A Reality For These Figures
Conscious Lifestyle Mag

Personally, I do not believe in reincarnation. However, I do have a great interest in events that go "beyond science" (which is the name of a YouTube channel that I follow, if you like things similar to what I am about to talk about I suggest subscribing to it). Reincarnation is an idea that has been around for centuries. Reincarnation is a belief of multiple cultures and religions, especially in the Western World. To some of us, this is just a history lesson from old cultures. But to others, this is reality.

Patrick Christenson

In March of 1991, Patrick was born by cesarean section. Twelve years earlier, he had an older brother named Kevin who died of cancer at the age of two. Kevin developed a limp six months before passing away. Kevin also had a small nodule above his right ear removed, a biopsy was performed and this is how the family found out Kevin had cancer. Tumors eventually spread throughout the rest of his body, one of them causing blindness in his eye. Kevin passed away shortly after his second birthday. Twelve years later, Patrick was born. Coincidentally, Patrick walked with a limp, had a scar above his right ear, and was blind in one eye. Patrick also talked about the old house that Kevin lived in, and mentioned how he doesn't remember much during the procedure where the doctors removed the nodule above his ear.

Purnima Ekanayake

Purnima was nine years old when a psychology professor decided to visit her in her home in Sri Lanka. The professor was interested in this particular girl because usually kids stop talking about their past life by the age of six. Purnima claimed that she had died in a traffic accident in her past life. The parents and professor were interested in this, so they travelled to the village the girl used to live in. The girl used to be a man named 'Jinadasa,' and he used to work in an incense factory. Purnima had birth marks on her stomach, which she said were the tire marks of where the bus ran over her in her past life.

Twin Sisters

In England in 1957, two sisters were killed by a car that hit them while they were walking along a sidewalk. One year later, the wife became pregnant, and the husband had a feeling that this pregnancy was going to be twin girls, both of who were going to be a reincarnation of their daughters who passed the year before. One of the babies was born with a scar above her right eyebrow, identical to their oldest daughter's. The other baby was born with a mole, the same size and in the same spot as their youngest daughter who had passed. When the girl's turned four, the husband opened up his late daughters' box full of toys. The twin girls knew the names of every single toy, and to which sister it belonged to.

James Leininger

James had a fascination with anything aircraft related when he was a child. However, when he turned two James began having nightmares about aviation. He would wake up shouting "burning plane" and "man can't get out." James would tell his father about how he used to fly planes off of a ship called Natoma. His father was very interested in these stories that he researched this ship. Come to find out, Natoma was an aircraft ship in the Pacific, and a young man at the age of 21 died when a plane caught on fire. It is to be believed that James is the reincarnation of this young pilot.

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.
