Why Your Appearance Shouldn’t Matter To Others
LOVE THIS PIC

“Does this color look good on me?” “Do these jeans make me look fat?” “I’m not wearing too much makeup, right?” These are questions that I personally have asked myself, and probably many others have as well. To be honest, I used to care SO much about my appearance. I used to care so much about the brand that I was wearing, how I looked in certain clothes, and how others may have portrayed me. Now, I could care less.

When it comes down to it, who are you really trying to impress? The answer: you shouldn’t be wanting to impress anyone other than yourself. You shouldn’t take other peoples opinions into consideration, because the only persons opinion that matters is your own. So go out there and be who you want to be. You want to wear jeans and a sweater? GO AHEAD. You want to make sure that your makeup is on point and looking flawless? YES YOU GOT IT. You want to wear a crop top and short-shorts? GO FOR IT. You want to wear nothing at all? I mean maybe you should at least wear a little something in the case of public indecency coming up. But, you get the point.

So next time you are about to ask yourself a question that doesn’t involve your own opinion, take a step back and realize that you are your own independent human who can wear or be whatever the hell you want to. I know it may be hard these days because most people just want to fit in and go with the norm. But don’t be afraid to be your own person and do what makes you happy!

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.
