Thank you for everything you taught me.

To The Boys I've Learned From
chobirdokan.com

I want to start by saying that I have no resentment towards you. I am so thankful for the time we did spend together and for all that I learned from you. However, I am glad that our time together came to an end.

I don't blame you for not wanting me. I can't be mad at you for not wanting to be with me. It sucked, but I can't blame you for being human. People don't always choose to hurt others, even when they do, so I forgive you.

Because of you, I learned that I deserve to be in a relationship that makes me happy; a relationship that feeds the soul and helps me grow. I learned that I am worthy of connections that are loving, nourishing, kind, and authentic. Because of you, I have learned that I should never settle for anything less than the man I deserve. The places I visit and the people I journey through life with should make me feel safe, loved, and enough; and you didn't.

I have found that I deserve someone who loves me with every beat of his heart and someone who is constantly thinking about me. I need someone that helps me to accomplish my goals and protect me from my fears. I need someone who will always treat me with respect, love every part of me, especially the things I am insecure about. I should be with someone who makes me happy, so happy, smiling for no reason, happy.

Because of you, I found a man that loves me with his whole heart, and more. I found someone who cares about all parts of me, not just my physical being. I found someone who loves God and helps me grow in my relationship with Him. I found someone who builds me up, not tear me down. Someone who has taught me to love who I am and see life from a whole new perspective.

Because of you, I learned that love doesn't have to be pretty. But because of that, I have come to the realization that you have to have the ugly side of love to cherish that beautiful and extraordinary side of love.

I can only hope you learned from your mistakes and that you find someone that makes you happy.

I wish you the best.

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.
