A Thank You Letter To Those Who Keep Me Sane

I would probably be in a loony bin if you weren't around.

To whom this may concern,

You know who you are. You are the person that helps me deal with my emotional dilemmas in my past and now dealing with them in the present. You are the one that watched me go full throttle, overloaded psychopath when something was getting in my way. Whether it was a person, a thing, or just watching me overthink to the maximum power, which admittedly I tend to do a lot. Even dealing with me being like that when I’m super over-tired and hyper definitely says something.

The laughs we share to keep me going, the tears that have fallen when both of us were breaking down about the same thing or a completely different one.

Same Harry Potter Puppet Pal, Same! In most moments you see me wanting to do that. You stop me whether it’s making me laugh, distracting me with something else or just tell me to suck it up since it’s not worth my time. Over and over again it’s that never-ending cycle of telling me nicely to do this:

Every little bit of that was needed. Without you doing that I could be stuck in an insane asylum somewhere not in this town, or even in this state. You wouldn’t be able to see crazier episodes of me being over-reactive, weird and completely insane. Admit, there are a number of reasons you tolerate it, but there’s only two I can think of. It’s either too entertaining (in other words I’m better than cable) or you know I would do the same thing for you to help me stay sane.

So in short, thank you for all the times you helped me if it was just one encounter. If it was a decent amount, thank you for dealing with it that many times (I am surprised). Most importantly, to the people that deal with it most (my friends, my family, etc.), I’m just flat out thanking you. You are all the real MVP’s in my life and I truly appreciate you more than words can express.

Sincerely,

The Person You Keep Sane

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.
