To The One I left on the Hook

They're just feelings, they'll go away right?

His persistence is charmingly appalling, and even though you always know you'll say no to anything he asks of you, still can't help but humor his requests for a moment. He's the one you always say no to, even if deep down maybe you don't want to.

Everyone has one of these people in their lives, someone constantly on the hook; not necessarily always waiting for you but they're not going to shy away from an opportunity to be with you. This is best depicted in 'How I Met Your Mother' Hooked episode where main character, Ted Mosby is constantly on call it almost seems for this wonderful girl in his life, played by Carrie Underwood. Someone always has someone on the hook, waiting to be there for them. They are everywhere and nowhere at once it seems. Always there to slip in a little compliment or a playful dig, and you can't help but smile at every word they say.

I've had a few of these in my life, and to this day some of them are still waiting for me to break and fall hopelessly into their arms, but that's just not my style. Plus it's more fun to watch as we grow together and see how we turn into our own individuals and meet other people. Sometimes you stay the one that always got away in their minds, but at the end of the day it's probably best. No one wants to be picked last so even if I did pick you would it be right to even love you after everything? Would being second best in my life really be a place you want to reside in?

I think this is just a weird concept because in society everyone has a crush, it's inevitable, but by most standards we are told to keep those feelings to ourselves. We're taken back by the openness of their feelings, scared by their rawness. How else do you respond when someone boldly tells you they think you're beautiful, and not just because you have a nice outfit on, but because they think you're beautiful. It's one of the most bizarre occurrences truthfully, especially in today's society.

It's odd to know there is someone out there who sometimes thinks of you, wonders how your day is going, yet you don't wonder about them. It's so one sided it almost makes you wonder why they still hold on? And then you remember the one who left you on the hook, and how maybe you didn't go as far as some have gone for you but you certainly didn't always shy away either. And maybe just for a moment you finally understand, and think to yourself how did you do it?

Until you remember you didn't do it, you let them go and moved on...and begin to wonder if this person will do the same eventually? And you wonder why it bothers you? As human beings we love attention and are particularly vain even if we are good at hiding it we can't help it. We love the idea of being adored even if it's not by someone we always want.

Life's weird, people come and go; some for a lifetime, others for a moment. Maybe this person will always be there, but don't be surprised if one day they aren't. Because that's the even funnier thing about life, nothing is certain and nothing is guaranteed for tomorrow.

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.
