A Concept: Souls Without Bodies.

If humans were stripped of our appearance, we'd have nothing to criticize.

A life without our physical attributes we humans refer to as appearance. No faces. No bodies. Perhaps simply illuminating orbs of light; maybe variating in color.

How much simpler would life be? We wouldn't have bodies nor faces, so that'd eliminate the need for luxuries such as clothing or makeup -- material possessions that humans don't need yet spend most of our lives trying to obtain.

It'd also eliminate the need for money since humans would now be orbs of light floating in the atmosphere amongst all the cosmos. These things -- money, clothing, makeup, cars -- they're essentially useless. They're all just illusions derived from our ego that program us to believe we need them. Maybe the human needs them, but the soul doesn't.

The soul, also known as our divine self or higher consciousness, knows that all we need to do in this life is be. That's our only requirement. Everything else is extra. The soul is the only truth; everything else is a lie. Our soul's, stripped from our ego and everything else we identify with, only purpose is to achieve the greatest state of contentment. The soul isn't focused on money or material goods because they're only temporary. This outer shell known as a body? It's only our temporary home which expires once we leave the physical realm. It's only on loan to us for a short time. The soul, however, is eternal. When we die, the soul leaves the body and returns home to its original state.

How much simpler would life be if we were stripped down to the bare minimum? Then, we'd finally break free of the illusions we've been programmed to believe our entire lives. We'd finally wake up and realize what's truly important

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.
