Hey Readers!

I've thought about when exactly 'unbalance' could occur. As with most things, it is bound to happen. It is an obstacle. There will never be a world completely free of things feeling or being unbalanced. However, if you have the belief and motivation to change that unbalance and restore your balance, then you can begin to feel at ease. I am not an expert. I can only speak from experience. What I have come to realize about unbalance is that it is not avoidable, but it can be changed into positive energy. It can place a weight off of my shoulders when I properly take time to cultivate negative energies into something positive. I hope this piece instills motivation to always seek balance. Good vibes to you!


There will always be unbalance

No matter if you begin the change

Or if someone else does

There will always be unbalance

Unbalance in the sense that not all things

Will perfectly align as they should

Balance is a process

It is something that is bound to shift

No regard for what causes this

Just that unbalance is evident

But it doesn't always stay this way

It can begin to be ok again

Balance can be achieved once more

Only if your heart is set to restore

Restoration of within to gain balance is just fine

It matters not who can see inside

To truly know if you're unbalanced as you say

Balance is yours anyway

For your balance is yours to cherish

It is yours to own and confine

In perfectly healthy content

And keeps you entwined to

Your soul as it, too, appreciates this care

Unbalance is ok

But, please, don't keep it there

Too much unbalance can cause you to stop

Everything, it seems, begins to fade away

Into untouchable dreams

And it could cause you, under stress

To burst at the seams

But refer to this when chaos seems to hold you

You can do whatever your mind is set to

You're worth the balance in every moment

I hope this encourages you to overcome and own it

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.
