Enjoy every little moment of today and tomorrow.

Every Small Moment In Life Matters, No Matter How Small
Jared Godoy

For the past couple of days, I've had this word stuck in my head:

CATHARTIC

And to be fairly honest, I really don't know why this is happening. I've been thinking about making every moment I live cathartic. I mean, I try to look for some sort of pleasant emotion in everything I do now. Maybe this might be the key to live a happy life.

I mean, a positive attitude leads to a good life, right? Maybe finding something that provides a positive emotional release is what we need. Maybe even finding it on the smallest of things. You know, there's this saying I live off that I got from Zombieland, the most iconic movie ever: "Enjoy the little things."

This has been my motto ever since. I live by it up to the day. Every little thing: a smile, a hug, a nod, ten-million bucks deposited into my bank account. Do you get me?

It is the small details that matter in life. Surprisingly, last night, after almost ending my life while going out with friends, I ended at Denny's before midnight. I ate a lot, and somehow still survived. I tried to make an emotional release from the fact that I didn't have a heart attack while shoving my mouth with hashbrowns. I was heavily infatuated last night.

If you were to go down my twitter, you'll find a lot of tweets that might not make sense to you. I see twitter as a sort of journal, so I often (more than I'd like to admit) go there and post something. A couple days later, I would go back to whatever I wrote and laugh at the stupidity I was doing. A small pleasant wave rushes through me.

Every moment matters. Each moment we live counts for the tomorrow; it feeds the tomorrow. That's why, no matter what we go through, we should try to find something that will give us some sort of emotional release to hang through it all.

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.
