The Blessing Of Another Person

Strength we thought we would lose.

The Blessing Of Another Person

Sometimes it’s hard for us to do things on our own. Other times, I at least like to do things on my own so that way they come out the exact way I want them to. This applies to many different parts of my life and it includes many different people. My parents are still greatly involved in my life, but now my boyfriend of six years is more often involved in a lot of what keeps me going sometimes. My boyfriend keeps me going almost on a daily basis, including waking me up some days, and helping to cook food every day, but some days just cooking for himself. Growing into this strong relationship changed how we lived our daily lives together. We continued to focus on what we needed to build to strengthen our relationship and what one of us does and the other does to help the pair.

I continued to accept the fact that I would continue to run daily events in my life with others always being involved. Its easy to let happen now, I have accepted the fact that company will be there with me. Even today when I wake up, I hate being alone. I need to have someone there with me immediately when I wake up. Eating breakfast happens more smoothly as soon as I wake up and someone is there with me. It’s hard for me to eat �on my own. My boyfriend constantly being here is always a relief. Even though he has a full-time job I have it in my mind that he will come home to me, and I will need to have a certain amount of things ready when he’s home. Whether that is chores that we want done in the house, or something for a meal that he might want, I have now gotten used to the fact that getting that done for him will help keep our relationship strong.

Its now hard for me to live constantly on my own. I thought I was going to let that go once I grew up from my parents, but I hate it. I’m glad I get to live a daily life with them, but also with the man that has my heart. I have no idea what my life would be like without him, miserable, boring, lonely perhaps. Keeping near my parents keeps me calm knowing they are close by in any situation when I might need help. My boyfriend also helps keep me constantly calm. Being able to talk to him everyday helps me with my emotions in every level that they may get to. Without him, even with the fact that we don’t have a ring involved, I would unfortunately still just be with my parents living daily with them.

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.
