I Thrive To Be a Sprout
Wall Paper Craft

A Sprout,

It was something so small and simple.

I found myself mainly saying this phrase on a simple and a quiet day. One day that could so easily turn into a hurricane in a split second.

It gave me so much comfort saying this phrase in the center of a stage five hurricane.

It was as if every difficult decision in life was nothing compared to what others in the world were making,

And that was okay because people were made to do great things and for now I was simple.

Simple like my phrase that I found myself saying.

The phrase that makes everything okay, that makes everything simple, that reminds me that things could be worse off.

Life goes on.

It's like a sprout,

so small and simple and for a sprout everything is simple because it has so much to learn and to grow into.

I strive to be like a sprout, something so new that has so many experiences to go through and doesn't take advantage of anything.

A sprout is selfless and so special.

A sprout is also taken advantage for because everyone see's it as so small.

But that is the pure beauty of it. It is doing something so great like growing and no one notices it besides the sprout.

I thrive to be as great as a sprout because for a sprout, life is always going on.

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.
