When The World Brings You Down

Just Look Up.

Look up. It's just that simple.


Sometimes I go to bed on top of the world but when I wake up the world is on top of me.

It comes from nowhere. You could be having a perfect day and then out of nowhere..BAM, it hits you. You don't know how you're going to make it through with the $5.34 in your bank account for the next week. You don't know when you're going to find time to study for the next exam in your class. You don't know how you're going to replace a tire that blew out this morning. You don't know how you're going to be able to stay awake in that 9 am class after you stayed up all night writing a paper. But that's it, you don't know how BUT someone does.

God.

He knows every hurt and every pain that you're going through, that you will go through, and that you have gone through. He knows every heartbreak and obstacle you will face. He knows it all.

Just like Kerrie Roberts said in one of her songs, "Before a heartache can ever touch my life, it HAS TO go through your hands."

One of my favorite verses, Romans 8:18 says: The pain you have been feeling, cannot compare to the joy that is coming.


I know it gets hard sometimes but he will never put more on us than we can bear.

God sees our hurting hearts. But trust me darling you might bend but he will not let you break.

We might not understand now why we are feeling like this but as for me I trust his promise in Romans 8:18. The world might bring you down but as long as you keep your eyes up through it all, the joy that will come will not even compare to the pain you are feeling now.

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.
