"[M]oments that we question should serve as reminders to figure out what we want on a deeper level"

Life tends to throw obstacles in our path, however, these difficulties help us grow leading us down paths we never would have expected. Lately, days have felt ever so long, especially, during this time of quarantine and regular morning wake ups have allowed me to ponder the idea that even though aspects of life are not what they once were that there is more to come in the future. Knowing that there is more down the road to come for you does not mean that believing it is easy. However, by trusting in new beginnings and the ability to let old memories leave one will have access to experience brand new mornings. The life we live is like that of a rollercoaster; there will be days in which we are left with a loss for words. In which we look at our loved ones wondering, how did I get so lucky to live this great life? On the contrary, there will be nights of pain that leave us sleepless making us ask ourselves when will I see and feel happiness again? The scary thing is there are not always direct answers to these questions and we are forced to continue with the daily tasks of our blurry lives. These moments that we question should serve as reminders to figure out what we want on a deeper level. Taking time to evaluate ourselves will allow us to grow into what we should be. You may feel vulnerable or strong-willed but throughout it all, you should be the gladdest that you overcame what was holding you back, to see things grow even though it took forever. The journey is a healing process and through it, you will learn more and more about yourself. You will eventually build your strength and bloom into who you are suppose to be <3

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.
