Sit down and let me tell you something you should've been taught a long time ago

How You Treat People Is A Direct Reflection Of Your Character.

As I'm writing this, I am irritated. I am irritated at the way people treat others, and I am more irritated at the fact it even has to be addressed, Listen, I get it. I know that there are people in this world that are going to drive you crazy. There are people in this world that you aren't going to like, and they aren't going to like you. But this gives you absolutely no right to treat people like they don't deserve respect. Just imagine what kind of world we would live in if girls didn't go out of their way to be catty, and kindness was more apparent than pettiness.

Listen up, you are not better than anyone. People have different interests and we are all raised differently. You may not agree with the way someone lives, but guess what? It's their life and not yours. If you disagree with it to a point where it seriously bothers you, then you really need to take a step back and realize what's important in life. Everyone's parents has a different style of parenting. Some people may have less manners than you, some may even have a lot more than you. Some people may believe in things that you don't believe in, but you need to understand that our differences is what makes life beautiful. God gave each and every one of us our own special unique characteristics that make us who we are. You have no right to talk down on anyone if God loves us all the same.

Like I said, there are going to be people in this world that you don't like. It's probably going to really get to you at some point in time too, but you know what the best thing to do is when you don't get along with someone? Ignore them. It's pretty simple. Let them live the life they want to live and let them do it happily, because odds are, they don't care what you think.

No one is going to change to be the person you want them to be and you have no right to try to mold anyone to your standards. You have no right to talk about someone without knowing their full circumstance. You have no right to exclude people for not being in the same group as you. Do you get what I'm saying here? If we all came to realize that everyone is different and grew to accept those differences, I bet this world would have a lot less animosity.

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.
