To see through rose-colored glasses

4
See through

Everything seems amazing when your looking through rose-colored glasses.

Take 'em off, take 'em off,

Tell them to take em off

So they can see who you really are.

And they said we should get back together but I don't think it's even worth it

Because they don't know the stuff you do.

They never cried the tears I cried all night

Hoping I make it out alive

But I'm 90% close to death.

When I married you, I thought it was

To love, to hold, to cherish,

To death do us part.

I'm falling apart and can't seem to put the pieces back together,

Everything seems amazing when your looking through rose-colored glasses.

They must think you're Prince Charming

Since that's all they seem to see.

Behind closed doors they don't see everything.

They don't know why there's more makeup on my legs and arms then my face,

They don't know why I wear shades all day,

They don't know why the caged bird doesn't fly at night

Hoping to spread her wings.

But all they do is come back to her, almost shattering,

Everything seems amazing when your looking through rose-colored glasses

Take 'em off, take 'em off,

They don't know you like I do.

They don't know you torture me like hot coals burning my inside out,

They don't know you let ya fist meet my face

On the corner of broken and bloody.

You told them I cover my face up with make up 'cause I'm beautiful,

You never tell them the actual reason why cause you don't want to look bad.

Well, you look bad;

You failed to realize that you can't cover up love that's not there anymore,

And I only stay cause I can't get out.

I don't love anymore,

I only said "I Do" because I'm scared.

If I can turn back time

"Do you take this man to be your husband

To love, To hold, to cherish,

'Til death do us part"

"I DO" not;

I Do Not want to love you anymore,

I Do Not want to hold us together,

I Do Not want to cherish something that is broken,

'Til death do us part

And all everyone knows is that rose-colored glasses make everything look better.

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.
