The Butterflies Of Summer End

Summer is not over, only close.

The Butterflies Of Summer End
Joseph M Foster

This is the specific time of a very special episode within a year, when an awkward feeling of change occurs; the beloved bitter end of summer. The timely holidays have come and gone. Placing us in the mind state to fully embrace the final weeks of this season, one that is recognized to be idolized for the majority days of the others.

The beloved summer isn’t quiet over, but close. The sun is still shinning, bright and hot high in the sky, but this is not to last long. A great portion of this chapter has past, and we have finally gotten use to this fantasy way of life: three months absent from some partial aspects of our routine responsibilities that dominate a majority of the year. We can finally be free from the classroom; hassling with snow and freezing weather; debating with yourself on what multilayer outfit to choose; free from the sunsets that seem premature. Life seems easier in the summer. Now that this is almost over, focus begins to shift to what is next and incoming, we have finally mastered the practices to utilize the the current period which we reside.

The final weeks of summer are a time to understand what it means to live as we should— optimally and to the fullest. It's also a time to excited for the shift that is inevitable. It is also a time to be excited for the shift that is inevitable.

Back to school season will soon be upon us. The fuss of football and basketball season will greet us with the simultaneous end of baseball, and all the while a consistent change will be dramatically brewing in the scheme of the weather. Holidays are about to have a much different, more sentimental meaning, a time to be surrounded by loved ones and optimistically look into the future.

The feeling is weird and aggressive; when everything we came to know is suddenly all about to end. This sensation becomes physical as its reality gets closer and the appropriate preparation is then, in turn—mandatory.

Once we comprehend that our feelings are a resistance to change, we begin to feel accustomed to the matter. The buzz of all of this, begins to get exciting — we begin to recognize our bliss. The nerves arise with the end to the comfort of consistency, and with time we become a new person in a new environment. With a few weeks of transition, we will once again be in the loving arms of a habitual season opposite to that of todays, happily doing whatever makes that phase within the year so unique and utterly special.

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.
