Stop Expecting To See Yourself In Others

"See others with the knowledge that we are all individuals, and who we are belongs to us and most importantly the creator of all."

Stop Expecting To See Yourself In Others

The issue with today's society is that we expect others to act, and have the same heart as we do. And if I'm being very open and putting my pride to the side; this is something I have recently struggled with immensely. I have a tendency to expect others to be giving, and non-judgemental like I have worked hard to become. Truth be told though, this is not how reality is nowadays.

We are all at different points of our growth development, and we cannot expect others to be at the same point as we are because everybody grows at different paces and not the same. This leads to me to the second part of this topic, is that we are all not at the same stage of life; we are all going through our own battles, and steps in our lives. We can't expect others to be where we are, instead, we accept them for where they are and learn to love them with grace and gratitude instead.

So for all you girls and boys struggling with this remember that you are YOU and you make this world a better place with just being the best you that you can be rather that is someone who is going through battles or has overcome those battles. I encourage everyone that reads this to tell two or more people today how much you love and appreciate them because we truly never know the battles they faced today.

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.
