A Tribute To Diana
Diana Spencer

You were a "People's Princess" and royalty was such a big spotlight. I don't blame you for feeling over whelmed. Nobody should blame you. I never really knew a lot about Diana, Princess of Wales, until recently, her son Harry, got married. The grand, royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. This family is full of secrets, money and well, royalty.

I began reading articles and watching these documentaries about her and from the very beginning, I could tell she had no idea what she was really doing. Princess Diana was strong and she tried her best to be royalty. Princess Diana struggled with depression and bulimia when she first moved from her town of Sandringham, England to the royal castle once marrying Prince Charles. The marriage ended with divorce as she began to lead a single mother life, still being Princess.

The popularity and paparazzi attention that she received was too much for her and it overwhelmed her at many times. She gave her time and love to not only her kids, but so many other children around the world being that she was a Child Activist. They were the most important. She didn't see the attention as the goal, the children were the goal. To give hope and uplift people and maybe some of that came from her wanting to feel that way for herself.

“Everyone needs to be valued. Everyone has the potential to give something back if only they had the chance.”– Princess Diana

From a biography I read about Princess Diana, she also took part in de-stigmatizing people who were HIV positive. She was not afraid of people that didn't want the attention either; only to be helped and loved. She supports the bans on landmines after people were injured and since passed away. People could connect with her and she found her happiness in helping others.

You gave happiness to people in situations where they could not make a difference, so you did. People can struggle but still bring happiness to others. Sometimes the unhappy people are the ones who really make others pay attention. You were a peoples princess and your bravery and generosity will never go unnoticed. Especially by your sons.

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.
