It's A Small World, After All

We live in a small world, and we are all affected by everything that happens everywhere.

It's A Small World, After All

Have you ever sat in your room, staring at the ceiling, listening to music wondering how many other people in the world are doing the exact same thing? The world is huge, holding roughly 7.347 billion people, yet the world is small enough for you to meet new people every day. But out of those 7.347 billion people, how many people do you think are sitting in their room, starting at their ceiling, listening to music, wondering if you are doing the same thing?

Think of this world, think of what's laid out in front of you. At any given moment, something or someone may come into your life and make you wonder completely how this world could be so big and yet small enough that this could happen. Out of 7.347 billion people, how come this particular person came into your life, and why are they living where they are, and how did you get the pleasure of meeting them?

I am in no way a religious person. I go to church on the major holidays because that's what I am supposed to do. I pray when I am having a rough day, because that's what you're told will help. However, with the world being so large, I can only assume that there is some higher force of power working when you meet people. For instance, you can be on a trip abroad and meet someone from your hometown that you've never met before. You can meet someone on the internet that lives another state away and instantly become close friends. You can meet someone that completely changes your ideas and beliefs and challenges your views.

It makes you think. It makes you ponder. How can this world be so huge and still you're meeting the people you are to meet. Why are they in your life and why were they put there? That's what has me thinking. Out of 7.347 billion people in the world, how did I end up meeting someone that only lived an hour away because a friend added me to a group? What purpose is there for this? What is the ending outcome? Until we get to whatever the outcome truly is, I am going to enjoy the friendship because this person came into my life when I needed it the most, and I will never not question why I was blessed with such an amazing individual.

The world is so large but you meet the people that you are intended to meet. Some people will become a lesson and some will become a blessing. You can't choose who becomes what, as that is not your place. But trust the world and never feel like the world is against you. There are 7.341 billion people on this Earth that you have yet to meet.

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.
