Dear Lauren Jauregui,

After reading your letter, I knew I had to express how much it touched me. Your words gave me strength and I've never been more proud to be your fan. I've supported you since 2013 and every day, you spark more passion in my heart.

Have Your Voice Heard: Become an Odyssey Creator

As a well-known celebrity, you're probably told to watch what you say. Everything that comes out of your mouth will be scrutinized and most likely twisted in some way. This has never stopped you for sharing your passionate beliefs with us, your fans. By creating a conversation about important topics such as feminism and politics, you have become more than just a musician to us.

Your open letter to Donald Trump and his supporters has made me realize that a formal "Thank You" is long overdue. The letter was articulate, inspiring, and full of passion. We are so proud of you for embracing your heritage, sexuality, and womanhood. It's made me, and thousands of others, proud to be who they are too.

Instead of telling only my story, I decided to reach out to my Twitter followers and friends to create one big thank you letter. Here's what they had to say:

"Lauren has inspired me to stand up for what I believe in and don't let anyone make me feel like I don't have a voice. She has also taught me how to respect and love myself for who I am." -Jared, @HTTPXJAUREGUl

"I love Lauren because her main goal is to make sure everyone feels loved and everyone is treated with respect. Even in her letter, she's not trashing anyone; she's staying true to herself by fighting for respect for minorities and it warms my heart so much." -Jon, @TheRealJonHutch

"Lauren gave me the courage to come out to my mom and she's taught me to love myself." -Rach, @rudolphtheregui

"The fact that people like Lauren are willing to use their voices to speak for and empower those that feel silenced constantly inspires me to speak out and that is one of the many reasons I adore Lauren and I'm so incredibly thankful for her." -Winona, @haimandcheeses

"Lauren is the reason why I got out of depression and she inspires me so much. I love how her mind works and I love how she uses her platform to inspire a lot of people." -Kyra, @jaureguicamz18

"Lauren gives me the strength to proudly be who I am and to tread my own path. " -Kayleen, @jaureguiit

I'm forever grateful for that and I appreciate, respect, admire and love her so much. Thank you, Lauren." -Andrea, @5HNorwayAndrea

"Lauren gave me the courage to come to terms with being bisexual, although my parents continue not to accept it. But if she can accept herself in front of millions, I can accept myself.

She has helped thousands of people come out over night and I hope she is proud." -Jodine, @Emerald_chaos_8

Lauren is one of the most down to earth and inspiring people I have ever been lucky enough to find. She has helped me in accepting myself and I'll be forever grateful for it. I can honestly say that I love her with all that I can give." -Faith, @customcabello

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.
