Ever since I was younger my parents have always been strict. As I began to get older I realized that my strict parents didn’t have rules and standards for me because they’re mean. They do it because they love and care about me. Having strict parents is a good thing because it shows that they care.

Having strict parents typically means your friends are able to do things like sleep wherever they want, while you can’t. I know that in the moment you may get upset at your parents for not allowing you to do certain things, but they are protecting you.

Since they didn’t allow you to do a certain activity, you’re more mature than everyone else since you aren’t allowed to do reckless things, and make irrational decisions.

We know how to dress, because there’s no way that we can leave home without looking appropriate. Thank your parents for teaching you that you don’t need to be half naked to be beautiful.

I love and appreciate my strict parents and you should too. In today’s society, not too many parents care about their children. The fact that your parents care about you is important. Don’t be ashamed about having strict parents. Embrace it! It's a blessing in disguise.

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.
