To Those Who Hide Their Guilt

As much as you bury, I hope you feel it one day

To Those Who Hide Their Guilt
Collide

There's one of two reasons to not feel guilt. Either you're body has a chemical imbalance, where you completely lack a conscience, or you are just blatantly burying the guilt that you feel to try to feel better about yourself. This is to those people who bury the guilt, bury it so far down that they think they are making themselves feel better about themselves for what they did to feel their guilt.

First of all, why? What is so easy about hiding that guilt? I want these people to realize it will hit them eventually. You may have trained yourself for years to not feel guilt, thinking you never have to apologize, thinking you are better than saying those words, "I'm sorry" and proving it, but eventually, deception catches up to us and that guilt will hit you.

Don't wait for that day. Recognize that guilt now and clear both your heart and head. One day something will happen to you where you wonder, "What did I do to deserve this?" and you will go through your past searching for the answer. When did you intentionally hurt someone, when did you lie, when did you not feel sorry for these actions, when did you not try to fix it? And that is when the guilt will come and you will do anything to try to finally fix it at that point, unfortunately, most times too late.

So don't wait for that day to come. You are given this emotion, along with others, to recognize them and act on them in positive ways, not to bury them to make yourself feel better for the time being. Face your guilt, fix what caused it, recognize your mistakes before you make the same ones over again.

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.
