Sometimes we find that it's not so easy to find the positive things in life. Something bad happens, and that's literally all we can think about. It's perfectly fine to be negative sometimes because it's just natural in a difficult situation. Our emotions get altered. That bad situation that happened can cause stress, anger, pain, anxiety, etc. But from what I've learned, you also do need to stay positive in difficult situations.

If you let the negativity take over your thoughts and actions, you can find that it's hard to get back to that. We need more positivity in the world. We can't let the negativity win. If we surrender to all the bad things in life and focus on the negatives, we are defeated. And that's not what we should be doing in life. We're not going to stay defeated, we want to be winners. We want to be happy. So why does negativity still linger whenever something bad happens? Why can't we just stay positive?

It's not that easy. For me personally, I strive to look for the positives in a difficult situation so I don't let the negativity take over. We shouldn't quit and throw in the towel and let the negativity take over. We need to give positivity that extra boost.

It's hard, but not impossible and we should all strive to be more positive in life and ignore the negativity. Be the first to spread the positivity when something goes wrong. Remind yourself that everything happens for a reason, even if you don't know that reason. Remind yourself that it's just a small set back and keep on going, it will get better. Even if you are the only one who stays positive, that's just one step closer to making this world a little more positive, despite the tragedy that happens.Go out there and spread that happiness!

Stay Positive, Friends! It does in fact get better!

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.
