A Rocky Road

The rough phases of life don't come easy.

A Rocky Road
Randy Clayton

Life is a tale of ups and downs. Life is all about the experiences gathered in our time. People have goals, dreams and ambitions in their lives and not everybody will fulfill them. Some people struggle to come up in life whereas some others pass through pretty easily. Each person’s upbringing, way of thinking, organizing themselves and way of functioning is different and thus our actions make us either victorious or defeated in life. I would like to iterate upon the rough phases of life where we lose hope and interest in life. This may be due to the loss of a loved one, damages in relationships, dissatisfaction of work, work pressure, depression and other negative reasons.

We must try to be optimistic in our lives and attempt to think positively and influence the environment around us in a similar manner. Children must be taught to accept failure and be competitive in the right spirit at a young age. Fairness, respect for others, patience and etiquette must be taught so that they inculcate them in their lives. A strong will power and a positive frame of mind will help people in crisis. Your mind is the architect of your thoughts and these thoughts further result into actions. Thus, controlling your mind and thinking positively helps. Every person would go through a rocky road in his or her lifetime. The ultimate winner in life is the person who can sustain and bear the burden of walking through this time. Make a fine road for yourself as you traverse through the rocky roads of life with love and support from family and friends.

Every cloud has a silver lining and thus we should keep our hopes alive. A rough patch in life will always be followed by a smooth and bright one. Life is a gift from the Almighty and we should embrace it with love. Never give up and always believe in yourself. I remember an old quote which goes, “God helps them only who help themselves.” Thus, we must help ourselves through whatever means possible and try to make ends meet. Bring on the fighter within you and be courageous to overcome your sorrow. I also recollect an optimistic dialogue from a Bollywood movie "3 idiots" which says, "All is well," which means that everything is fine and cool, thus there is nothing to worry about in life. Take care!

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.
