If You Think You're Better Than Everyone Else Based On Beauty And Wealth, You're In For A Reality Check
Rachel Wahlin

I'm sure you can think of a few people in your life right now that are pretty…complicated. It seems that everything that they do is a big deal, or they are really picky, stuck up, sensitive, etc. Some people have the personality of being that way. But when you get to know them a little better, you may begin to realize that you aren't as bad as you thought you were about being high-strung.

In life, you meet SO many people and each of them are unique in their own way. Some are good, some are bad, and some are in-between. Each of them makes some sort of impact on what kind of person you will turn into. However, there are usually a select group of people that really make the most impact on how you act and who you turn into is the ones that are pretty 'high maintenance' people.

Some people freak out over the craziest of things like the way you dress determines how much money you have, or something like thinking that somebody is into you when really it is a good intention, nothing romantic. I feel like in this day and age society has filled out minds with all of these expectations that are near impossible for us to achieve. Society thinks that we should all be living these very luxurious lives and that everything is essentially 'all about me'. Anxiety and depression are at an all-time high thanks to these stakes being placed by society. The people that are high maintenance, in my opinion, look down their noses on others, thinking that they are better than those who aren't as pretty, wealthy, or just all-around personality that doesn't acquire to their liking.

It's sad that people have to think in such a materialistic way in order to obtain happiness. Happiness is something you find within yourself, not something you find within material things, or kicking others down in order to feel more superior than others.

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.
