Other people's opinions are fine, but at the end of the day yours is the one that matters.

Decisions can be hard to make. We make them all the time, every day. It can be intimidating to make choices by yourself, and for this reason, many people choose to reach out to friends, parents, or trusted adults to give their opinions. I'm definitely guilty of this. I want everyone's opinion that exists, even if they're not someone who's familiar with my situation. It's easy to rationalize this by saying that asking multiple people for advice could give you a perspective you hadn't thought of, or that it could help you find the voice in your head telling you what you actually want to do. These are valid reasons, but most of the time I just want someone to tell me what to do.

Sometimes, though, you need to make decisions on your own, because nobody else knows what's really right for you. So, here are 6 decisions you should definitely make with your own opinion in mind.

1. Where you go to school.

If you go to college, where you go to college, and what you do when you get to college should be up to you.

2. Who you date.

Yes, what your friends think of your new boyfriend is important, but at the end of the day, it only matters what you think of your beau.

3. What you wear.

Yes, totally try on all of your clothes with your friends, but don't let anybody tell you to tone down your style.

4. What you're interested in.

Maybe you'll get called a nerd, but it's much more fun to spend your time doing things you actually like rather than what everybody else thinks is cool.

5. How you feel about yourself.

Don't let the world tell you how to feel about yourself, find your self-worth within.

6. What kind of topping you have on your pizza.

Pineapple pizza eaters, I will never understand you, but don't let anybody tell you that you're wrong.

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.
