"Who saves a hero?"

The blinking line on the page
Give you your own little stage
It asks: "What's on your mind?"
But the answer is hard to find
So much flies though the empty space
Of the abyss that is behind my face
More than I could share
More than I dare
To know what goes on in my head
Would give most cause to dread
From darkness to bright flowers
My brain ticks away the hours
Until the next stimuli I wait
Either brought or that I create
But the answer is not a simple one
It would be many hours 'til I would be done
But the only real reason to put such here
Has nothing to do with fear
I am an attention whore through and through
But I must become new
Not asking for attention
Where there is no retention
The only attention I should need is mine
I tell everyone that I am fine
My support system is done
Gone to someone else who is more fun
Who do I get my support from?
When everyone else is done
The guy who saves everyone
Is alone when everyone is done
So who saves the hero?
Before he becomes a zero...

One could say that the man does free
Should be filled with glee
But the glee comes from the save
And when there is no one to save...

The hero rides into the horizon
Sure to save more by the dozen
That's why they leave so soon
It's that or face their own doom
Because without people to save
The hero might as well dig their grave
My job is nearly done
I have battled but have not won

Who saves the hero?
When the hero needs a hero...

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.
