The Ever Turning Wheel

On how it all seems meaningless

As I turn back to these pages again

It feels like I'm never gonna ascend.

Trapped in an ever turning wheel

Constantly speaking; but is any of it real?

Do these words ever capture how I truly feel?

Why am I rhyming?

Is it just how I felt like whining?

Really it's an experiment

Hopefully one I will not lament.

Everybody says vary your style

but this feels so forced like a child

Who has been forced into this world

Pursuing worthless task until he wants to curl

Up and just stop, rewind the days back

To when the most complicated thing was a snack.

Glad I got that out of my system. Endless positivity is more unsustainable than fossil fuels. And just like the fossil fuels, I'll keep using it until something better comes along. I really do love writing and math and philosophy and learning, but some days it feels like I'm. Just screaming up at the void. You just ask yourself, “What's the point?” Oddly enough that this feeling decided to appear at this time. It's too early for me to have failed my resolutions, not to mention I didn't have any.

Yet I'm left distraught

Burdened by a single thought

That it's all meaningless

And that I should dream less

And probably just try less

Man this is just a fine mess.

Honestly if the notion to continuously advance forward wasn't pounded like a nail into my skull. Ugh. I'd be just laying in bed waiting for oblivion to get me, or all those midnight mac and cheeses. How do you guys feel when you're in a rut? I imagine like you're in a rut. Really this is just a losing battle. My words are meaningless because my opinions are meaningless and one day we will all die probably before the sun swallows Earth. Yep just call it a day because we won't always have them.

But isn't that expiration date what gives all of this value? Knowing that our days are numbered keeps their value from inflating, which is a godsend in this economy. It's the brevity of a good time that inspires rarity. And that is how I'll find my serenity. Because we should take solace in that everything is meaningless. Now we have a canvas to create and derive our own meanings. That's wonderfully brilliant and is what will give us the chance to make every other day even better. Just like how clouds roll in, then leave with the weather.

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.
