No matter what, we are constantly being surrounded by dozens of people. We work with them, see them in the grocery store, and for the most part they are people we may have known for years. For the most part there are some amazing people who come in and out of our lives, making us grow as individuals, and level up in every aspect. However, there are other types of people who are extremely toxic, and should not have a place in our life. Reason for this? The only thing they want to see happen to you is defeat, they do not want to see you rise to the occasion or even become a version of yourself. So, who are a few of these toxic types of people?

DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA

No matter where they go there is always drama. In fact, they also feed off of gossip and drama, they don't want to spend their time applauding those who have succeeded in life, they would rather listen to the unfounded rumors at work, or they even want to be part of the gossip train to create an unhealthier atmosphere.

THE NARCISSIT

While there is nothing wrong with being proud of your accomplishments and achieving the goals you've set for yourself, there is a fine line of having confidence and being completely vain. Narcissist's care only about themselves, and forgets everyone else around them, showcasing their lack of empathy to the rest of society.

THE MANIPULATOR

The manipulator is a brilliant mastermind, making others think that they actually care about them, when in fact they don't care at all.

THE VICTIM

Those who have become the unfortunate victims of unfortunate circumstances ( assault, traumatic childhood, etc.) are completely tossed aside when the toxic person, nicknamed The Victim, walks into the room. The moment the toxic person enters the room they will automatically try to make others feel bad for them no matter what may have happened. Not only that, they will ultimately end up blaming others for their own mistakes, and refuse to take responsibility.

LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE

Everybody at some point has told a white lie, and that's normal, however, with the compulsive liar they are constantly telling lies. With numerous amounts of lies usually ends up showing everyone the inconsistency in the stories they tell. On top of this, they have become a mastermind with guilting others into believing anything that comes out of their mouths, while having the ability to manipulate and gaslight the intended person.

THE CRITICIZER

Everyone has a moment where they tend to criticize themselves, or even others based on the choices one makes. But when it comes to The Criticizer they make it their mission to criticize every move you make, even if it was for the best.

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.
