We Are More Than Conquerors: Perfection In The Midst of Imperfection

It's so easy to see the negative in a situation. Even in a situation that is barren of emotion, it's easy to find a reason to be down. We want things to go our way with limited information, believing that what we desire is best. Like little wannabe gods, we try to rule our lives with so much doubt and fear as a foundation. To be wrong, to be isolated, to not fit in triggers the actions we take for a "better tomorrow".

What I've come to realize, is that to live in fear, is to live a life of mediocrity. To live in fear is to barely live, it's a mirage by which many make their decision. Those who truly live are those who see the cliff, but decide to jump; instead of falling, they fly.

Have you ever just taken a moment to be thankful, to see where you currently are despite the reasons why you shouldn't be. When you don't enjoy each day for what it is, you will always live for tomorrow. The irony about living for tomorrow is that although it's anticipated, it's never experienced.

Our ability to overcome is more powerful than what we choose to fear. The ability to withstand our battles till the end is what opens our eyes to what lies within us. It gives insight to how much God has poured into us. I was offered a position that I thought was above me, and I was ready to run away from the obstacle at hand. Although the fear within shocked me, the promise of God held me in place. Before I knew it, all the things I thought were impossible, became easy.

This is to show that we are more than capable of completing, and withstanding anything that we face. Remain positive and thankful in trial. Believe in who God created you to be.

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.
