To Mom And Dad

I’ll always be your little girl.

To Mom And Dad

Mom & Dad,

As a sophomore in college you would think that I would be dying to spread my wings and finally become independent, eagerly starting a life on my own and diving into the real world. However, as a kid at heart, I don’t think I’ll ever be ready to leave your nest, even though one day I know I’ll have to.

The “Parent Lottery” really does exist, and I won it hands down. You both have done everything you possibly could to give our family this beautiful life and I hope one day I can do the same for my own. Whether it was cheering and shouting at every softball game or even just cuddling up for cozy movie nights by the fireplace, I couldn’t be luckier for everything you have done for me.

So thank you, thank you, thank you. For everything you do, everything you’ve done, and everything you will do for me in the future. Thanks for tucking me in every night after bed time stories, being Santa Clause for ten years, and showering me with more love and support than I could have ever imagined. Dad, thanks in advance for walking me down the aisle on my wedding day and protecting my little girl someday the same way you have protected me. Mom, thanks in advance for teaching me your secret recipes and for being my best friend forever. Time may fly by but I’ll always be thankful for the life you have given me. And no matter what, I will always be your little girl. That’s a promise I’ll never break.

To mom and dad, thank you for everything. I love you both more than you’ll ever know.

With love forever and always,

Your little girl

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.
