You Are More

Let the world change before you conform.

You Are More
Thought Catalog

In a society where the newest social norm has become to belittle others for their beliefs, looks, or even the way the outfits they wear; I have found it important to remind others that you are more

You are more than that final grade you made.

You are more than that boy who broke your heart.

You are more than that number on the scale.

You are more than the words that your "best friend" said behind your back.

You are more than that subtweet on Twitter, or the likes you get on Instagram.

You are more than that mistake you made last year, last month, or even yesterday.

You are more than the price tag on your clothes.

You are more than the makeup you put each morning because you think you look bad without it.

You are more than the thoughts that consume your mind.

You are more than that drunken snapchat you sent to that guy in hopes he would notice you.

You are more than what the world tells you to believe about yourself.

You are more than your daily struggles.

You are more than just beautiful.

You are more than just funny.

You are more than your title at your work place.

You are than a friend, sister, brother, wife, husband, or cousin.

You are so much more.

You are worth so much more than you believe. As the new Alessia Cara song states, "And you don't have to change a thing The word could change its heart." Let the world change the way it views other before you begin to conform to the world. The world is always going to judge you. People are always going to say things, and criticize you. But please remember you are worth so much more than you believe. You are more.

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.
