What's the best lesson I've learned about living life

So, how can a 21 year old college student give a talk about living life when I barely even started it? Well it all starts with myself and the mentality that's be evolving over the years as I got older, and the friends I have that helped me along the way.

I realized how short life could be when I start to realize how my heart condition could really impact the rest of my life and what I can and can't do. My life with that particular heart condition which is Ventricular Tachycardia is another story that I won't get into right now, but the condition is a fast, and abnormal heart rate that could have my heart beat at about 120 per minute and if it lasts more then a few seconds can be life-threatening. It is a condition that has effectively changed my life since birth and changed the lives of those that has been there since then.

The lesson I've learned through all of it up till now, is that we never know the cards we've been dealt with in life. We didn't ask for it, or expect it but we do our best to make sure we play as best as we could while also living in the moment. Life goes by fast, and half the time we already lived most of it before we can even say hold up. Which is why it's so important to cherish each and every moment whether you're by yourself or with friends and loved ones. You realize the importance of not letting any negativity get into your life, and knowing what you want in life but most importantly who you want in life. I don't know if this article helps or if anyone could relate to it but I want to at least share what I've learned in my life and hopefully inspire others from 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.
