The Truth Hurts
https://processandfaith.org/can-prehension-lead-to-truth/

The truth is we all lie. We all have lied way bigger than white ones too. We wouldn't be human if we haven't lied more than a couple times to protect ourselves or someone else. So why do we shun others and act like they are the only ones that have ever lied to someone when we catch them lying to us? Because the truth hurts.

Even if it's a white lie about your breath smelling bad or if it's a huge lie and your best friend has been sneaking around with your significant other. Maybe your lie is that love someone, but you want to leave them, or maybe it's that you're wearing the same jeans. for the second day in a row. Whether it's a small lie or a big lie we always believe it's better than the truth.

The truth always hurts and that's why we think it's better to avoid it and lie than to tell how we really feel and as much as we hate to admit it, we like to lie. We don't like to be told that yes, our teeth could be straighter and yes, our bodies aren't perfect. Nobody wants to be told that people don't want them around. So we lie.

We don't always lie to protect others, sometimes we lie to our protect ourselves. We don't always want to admit that we have done wrong because we are embarrassed so for some reason we blame others and think that if we tell ourselves they are the issue enough times, we believe it.

But, we wouldn't be human without lying. It's inventible and even though it hurts, it will never not happen.

The truth is, everybody lies.

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.
