Can You Hear Me?

To My Guardian Angel Up Above
Destiny Brilene Haunss

Have you ever had someone so close to you pass away? And after that tragic moment you just don't know what to do with yourself because that person made such an impact on your life? Well, I have. My grandpa was my best friend. Someone who I went to for everything. Whether it was to wake me up for school or to go to the doctors or just to talk. He was my go to. Losing him hit me badly and it changed my life drastically. I had this bond with him that is hard to understand but him and I could comprehend it perfectly.I think that is why once he passed away I felt there was a gap in my heart but I knew he was still watching over me, as my guardian angel.

I want to thank you for everything. You have had an influence on me that is visible to everyone you knew. I want to thank you for all the hugs and kisses you gave me when I got home from school. You living with us was the best 15 years because I never felt alone because you were always just a room away from me.

It took me a long time to be okay with your passing. I wish you had been there for my sweet sixteen or my prom but I know you saw it all. I had puffy eyes for a long time, but I eventually got used to you being with me in spirit, not physically. It scared me when I thought I forgot what your cologne smelled like, but I remember by getting one of your old NASCAR sweatshirts and I feel at ease again. With the sweatshirt on and your heart shaped earn next to my bed, sleepless nights disappeared.

I hope I am making you proud, that is something I think about every day. I wish we would've had more time together, but God works in mysterious ways. I know I will see you again one day and it will feel like you never left us, but until then I will continue to live life just like you taught me to.

Thank you guardian angel for the many laughs, hugs, and memories. They are something I will hold dear to my heart and things i will cherish and share with my own family. I will always think of you and I may shed a tear time to time but I will always know you are protecting me and watching over me just like you did while you were here with me.

I love you so much Poppa, see you soon.

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.
