To The Girl Who Needs To Stop Rushing Everything

You may feel like just because something starts out good that it'll stay that way. But things change all the time, whether we want them to or not.

To The Girl Who Needs To Stop Rushing Everything

You may feel like you have to figure out everything in life. Maybe you feel like if you have it all planned out everything will fall into place as it should. You may feel like just because something starts out good that it'll stay that way. But things change all the time, whether we want them to or not. Sometimes we need to just take things day by day.

Sometimes we need to just relax and let life figure itself out. There's no need to rush anything, whether it be about college, relationships or whatever, take it day by day. Life has a way of figuring itself out and we just need to let it figure itself out sometimes, we can't always try to control everything we do.

We are only humans and can handle so much. We try so hard to figure things out and end up rushing everything and things don't always work out the way that we want or expect them to. I can speak from experience, I rushed everything in college thinking that if I just got what I needed to be done I'd be fine, but it then turned out not to be in my favor.

I have also rushed relationships. Instead of taking the time to actually get to know someone I had started a relationship and now I'm taking the time to get to know them as friends and focusing on school so I can get my life to where I want it to be. I rushed myself into things I wasn't ready for and it set me back to the starting line.

Letting life come to you has its perks. You take college day by day and focus on that. You let love come when it should and let that grow over time. Rushing things never works out as planned, if it has then you're lucky because I know quite a few people that rush things and it never worked out in their favor. Life has its own plan for us and we can never really stop it.

We can't control parts of our lives. Things happen that are just so out of our control, but our control is really just an illusion. Stepping back and letting things happen will let things work themselves out and our needs will be met with time. By letting these things happen, you don't have to stress about anything.

You can sit back and smile for all the things to come. Maybe things don't work out the way you want, but the outcome that you are heading to might be even better than what you are planning. Accept that things will always change and sometimes for the better. Watching things work out will have you learning so much. You learn more about how the world works without controlling every little bit of it. Who knows you might even end up happier because of it.

I know we can't just sit back and watch for everything, there are things that we need to do to put food on the table and everything else we need. Don't let it stop you from doing what you need to do as a priority but some things are better when you let them come to you and not you trying to come to something that may not be where you need to be.

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.
