Are You Really Rich? 

Money is the Root of all Evil

Are You Really Rich? 
https://odysseyimages.s3.amazonaws.com/cropped_H1J_NUjfz.jpeg

In the world we live in, everyone is taught to dream about being Rich. Who has the luxurious cars, biggest house, gets paid well for work, goes on fancy trips and everything that involves being Rich. Everyone is so consumed with wanting to be Rich, they forget about the important things in life. Now let’s look at the definition of what being Rich is to the world. 

Definition of Rich:

Having a great deal of money or assets; wealthy.

Here is my definition of being Rich: 

Having a Support System, Being Happy, Having Self Love, Being Healthy, Family Bonds, and Feeling Appreciated

When you have all those things or most of them, in my eyes you’re the Richest in the World. When you ask a person what makes them happy, people tend to say money but forget that money makes you temporarily happy, it’s not something that stays with you; it can be gone in 2 seconds. Who you are and what you surround yourself with is what makes you Rich, not what you have materialistically.

I’ve noticed that the Richest people are people that are less fortunate because they appreciate things more, work for what they have, have a support system, and are appreciated in life. But ask a person that has everything you could ever want but doesn’t have the family bond, doesn’t love themselves, doesn’t have anyone who appreciates them, etc, you’re gonna see that they’re not actually rich they’re poor within themselves.

See life is not about how much material things you have because once the material things are gone you are left with NOTHING but left with emptiness.

So stop and think; Are you really Rich?

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.
