Staying Positive Makes My Life More Positive
Jon Wolverton

One thing that many people ask me is how I always manage to have such a positive outlook on life, and the reason is actually pretty simple: keeping a positive outlook on life makes my life so much happier.

If you have a positive outlook on life, it will make your life more positive! Trademark me on that. (I'm joking about that. I'm sure someone has already said that.)

Ever since I was young, my main goal in life has been to make people smile and laugh.

For example, storytelling is one of my best qualities, so I always tell my friends and family weird stories that have happened in my life because I know it will make them smile. When someone is sad, I do everything in my power to make them feel better, and when someone is happy, I do everything in my power to make sure they stay happy. So no matter what mood someone is in, I always try to tell a story from my past because I know it will brighten up the room and make people laugh and feel better.

When I make other people happy and see people smile or make them laugh, it makes me feel happy and makes my life more positive. When you put out positive vibes in the world, the world will bring positivity into your life. Trust me on that. Instead of being negative towards everyone and everything, try spreading positive energy. It will make you and everyone around you so much happier and healthier.

While it is important to show positivity and not negativity, remember that it is okay to show sadness. This is something I always struggle with. I hate sadness so much, so I never show it and only show the positives of my life. I've learned that it's actually really unhealthy to do that. Around once every two months, I have nights where I am very sad and find myself crying over everything and that's because my body has all of this emotion built up inside of me and it needs to be let out. It is possible to be positive and happy all of the time while showing sadness every once in a while.

So remember, the next time you are with your friends or family, instead of ranting about that person who cut you off while you were driving or that one co-worker who gets on your nerves, talk about something positive that happened during the day, or something happy, like puppies.

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.
