Stop Complaining. It Doesn't Help.
Tim Gouw

We need to stop this "woe is me" attitude. Where does this get us? So many people just bitch about their lives but do nothing about it. Yeah, your life sucks. So does mine, so does everyone else. It's just the way it is, life loves to throw punches and they're going to hurt like a bitch and the more you whine and cry about it the worse it's going to get.

I see it all the time on social media people write these long posts about how horrible their lives are and how much they want someone to love them, accept them for who they are. Like its supposed to be so emotional that their life is just so messed up, nothing works, and no one likes them. Guess what? I and just about everybody else don't care about your problems. I don't know if you're trying to get attention or not, but you're really not helping yourself at all. They're your problems deal with them. Most of your problems are your fault anyway you keep making that same choice that leaves you hurt or whatever the hell else you say.

You got to suck it up and sort through your problems because that's the only way they're going to go away. Have a friend you can talk to about it and get advice from. There's no shame in asking for help (something I have to remind myself daily). The biggest thing is you need to start doing something about it. No one is going to be able to save you from the hole you dug yourself. Stop looking for someone to do so, because if you do "find" one that gives you that feeling of "everything is perfect" it won't last and everything will crumble and leave you even deeper in your hole.

I get it. It's easier to complain about your life, feel sorry for yourself and wish someone else would come in and fix it for you, make everything better. The cold truth is that it'll never happen. No one can make your life better until you can make it better. So find the problems, don't complain, and get to work.

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.
