An Open Letter To The Girl Who Feels Like Giving Up

I know it's hard right now, but it will get better.

To the girl that feels like giving up,

I know how you feel right now, believe me. I've been where you are multiple times, more than I would like to admit. I've felt hopeless, confused, angry, sad, unmotivated, and any other possible feeling.

I've gotten to the point multiple times where I let everything pile up until I got to the edge. I felt like nothing was worth the pain anymore. I was so close to giving up, but I didn't.

Every time I got to that point, there were always reasons that would keep me fighting. I would think about all the good things in life that made me happy, that I would be leaving behind if I gave up.

If you're reading this, you're probably feeling the same feelings. You're probably close to giving up. Don't.

There's so much more to life. There is so much happiness yet to be had. There are so many things to live for. There are good days ahead. You just have to push through the rough patches.

I know it may feel like the only feelings that you feel are the negative ones, and there aren't any things that you enjoy anymore, but that's not the case. There are so many good things in life, like coffee, music, friends, and so many more things. If you give up, you don't get to see those anymore.

Think about your future: the things you want to do, the people you want to meet, your future husband and kids, the places you want to travel, your dream job and concerts you want to see. If you give up now, you won't be able to see your future. Aren't you curious to see how your life will turn out if you just hold on?

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

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.
