To The Doctors Who Helped Me Get My Life Back, Thank You

It has been a hard two years that is for sure. Two years filled with the worst pain of my life. Two years of watching my mental and physical health deteriorate. But in those two years, I met some of the most talented doctors. I met the doctors that helped me regain control of my life. Guys, this one is for you.

People cannot even begin to imagine what you guys have gone through to get where you are today. The sacrifices you have made in order to become the best in your field. The heartbreak you have endured. The triumphs that kept you going. The doctors you all are today did not happen by accident. You were born to do this and I thank God every day that you chose to embark on the journey of medicine.

I came to many of you a scared college kid begging for help but I left feeling stronger than ever. You all helped me in ways that I will never be able to repay you for. It has been a grueling two years but with every appointment, I feel myself getting a tiny bit better, a little bit more myself.

Something you all may not know is that I have always wanted to go into healthcare. My dream job as a kid was an ER doctor. When I first went to college, my dream was to become the manager of a hospital. Today, I am studying psychology and business but one thing remains as clear as ever — I want to enter the healthcare field in some way. I want to help people and you all solidified that for me.

Now I know you guys will probably never see this article, but if it happens to find you, I hope you take time to read it. More importantly, I hope it makes you realize just how grateful I am for every single one of you. I hope it makes you realize that all of your hard work has paid off. I wouldn't be where I am without you. I truly owe it all to you. Thank you for everything.

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.
