The Story of She
Maggie Bera

You notice She as she walks by.

She looks beautiful today.

You make eye contact with She and nod your head good morning.

She returns the smile.

You go on with your day. You don't think of She.


You notice She as she walks by.

She did her hair differently today.

You are on your phone, but you wave hello.

She waves back.

You go on with your day. You don't think of She.


You notice She as she walks by.

She has on all black today.

You are sipping your iced coffee and forget to say hello.

She probably doesn't notice.

You go on with your day. You don't think of She.


She is not here today.

You don't have to open the door for her.

She is probably sick.

You go on with your day. You don't think of She.


You wonder if She is doing alright.

She hasn't posted on Facebook.

You go on with your day. You don't think of She.


She looks gorgeous this morning.

You go on with your day. You are glad She is alright.


You notice She as she walks by.

She is in bright blue dress today.

You give her a wink and a smile.

She does not see.

You go on with your day. You are bummed.


You notice She as she walks by.

She is wearing her new pumps today.

You admire She and greet her eagerly.

She does not hear.

You go on with your day. You are embarrassed.


You notice She as she walks by.

She is absolutely stunning today.

You pace ahead to get She's attention.

She looks down.

You go on with your day. You are disappointed.


You notice She as she walks by.

She is the most beautiful girl you have ever seen today.

You try one last time, and compliment her on her beauty.

She looks at you and opens her mouth to speak.

She is blank.

She is hurting.

She is helpless.

She wishes she could turn her brain off.

She is not there.

She was never there.

She says "Thank you," with a smile.

You go on with your day. You don't think of She.

Have compassion for those around you. You never know what's going on behind a smile.

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.
