A Thank You Letter To London

Dear London,

From landing at Heathrow on January 11th to saying goodbye to you on May 1st, so many emotions were running through my mind. I didn't want to leave, I still wish I didn't have to leave. I met so many new people. Working in London was amazing. I loved all my co-workers and I miss them terribly. Thank god for email, right?

I loved my flat and my roommates so much. We had a blast together We were there for each other's worst moments. We went to different countries and towns in England together and I cherish those moments so much.

Besides hitting it off with the roommates, I hit it off with my co-workers. We were always laughing with each other. The pub crawl we went on was amazing! I was exposed to different cultures. If I didn't end up interning at Community channel, I probably would not have tried Indian food and fall in love it.

With studying Europe, I got to go to many places I only read about in books. England, London itself lived up to my expectations. The River Thames shocked me the most, and made me realize that I was indeed in London. After reading Dickens' Our Mutual Friend The Thames, wow I couldn't believe that I was looking at the Thames that I read about in that Dickens book. Big Ben, you took my breath away. I saw you in pictures but seeing you up close, wow talk about spectacular.

I finally visited Denmark, a place I have always wanted to visit since I was in 5th grade. Copenhagen took my breath away. Paris, France literally stole my heart. I loved Paris so much. Both times I went in the four months I was away. Prague, Czech Republic was another place that took my breath away too. Just how old the city was made it all the more beautiful.

Besides the traveling, I learned more about myself as a person. I learned how to solve my own problems. I learned more about time management. I learned more about being independent and how to rely on myself.

Lastly, I will never forget about those four months, and you made me make so many memories, so thank you, London.

Until Next time. xx

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.
