I Used To Wish My Life Was Normal

Now I know normal does not exist.

I Used To Wish My Life Was Normal

Way back when I used to think if I could just live a normal life, I'd have it made. Normal life, job, parents, the works. I used to think that normal meant easy. Normal lives is what I thought everyone else had. I looked around and everyone around me appeared to have a normal life, and that is what I wanted. Yet, I had to step out of my little bubble to realize I was wrong. Like, really wrong.

Normal is so unheard of nowadays... And if you think you have a normal life, you should probably reconsider your definition of normal. People have problems, some more than others, but problems are problems. Our president has problems, obvious ones, but that's besides the point. The world obviously has some major problems. If normal even existed anymore, it would be nothing. Normality should not even be considered a thing. If my life was normal, it would consist of doing the same things over repeatedly every single day, with no interactions with the outside world because it's definitely not normal as it is today/ See what I'm saying? It is impossible, but it is also a life that I do not want to live.

Now, I'm glad my life is not normal. I'm glad I always have a little bit of of craziness thrown into my life to somehow make it the perfect concoction of chaotic. It makes it my life. If I honestly had a normal day, I might go insane. I wouldn't know what to do with myself. So next time you think man I wish my life is normal, just know it doesn't exist. Having a normal life means having no life at all.

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.
