Watch The Giants Fall

Stronger

“Life’s got you down, but your feet are still on the ground.

How do you do it?

How can you be so strong when I feel like I’ve drowned?

How do you do it?”

You say, “I may look like I’ve got it together, but I don’t.”

But I try for you.

I am not really as strong as you think, but give up, I won’t.

But I try for you.”

Tears fill our eyes as we embrace.

One day we’ll be stronger.

Peace and joy cover our faces.

One day we’ll be stronger.

My family has been struggling with financial problems for approximately four and a half years now. It alternates from being "okay" to really bad, but through it all, God has provided for us and taught me a lot.

My mom and dad have been working hard to make sure we have what we need, but my mom was especially a role model for me. For mother's day this year, I wrote her this poem to thank her for everything she had done for me. She has been an example of a strong person even though it feels like everything is about to fall apart. Even though most of the stress was put on her, I rarely saw her cry, and she never talked about giving up. She told us to keep praying at all costs, and God would be faithful. I'm thankful for what she has done for me all these years. I love you, mommy.

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.
