I Am A Writer...

You've got this world trapped in your mind that you feel the need to share with the rest of the world.

I have to remind myself that writing doesn't always come to people the way it does for me. I have to remind myself that writing is a skill set a lot of people lack and realize the value in such a talent. From one perspective you just see someone sitting down in a chair or laying down scribbling words down or typing hastily or not so hastily, nonetheless, you see these simple actions. You would assume it doesn't take much effort. However, it does. You see these simple gestures going on outside this person. However, that is just the beginning.

When you're a writer, journalist, blogger, whatever you are, you are more than just a person with words on a laptop or paper you made up. You are those words. You are those stories and blogs you create. You may be a person sitting in a chair or laying down on a bed but your mind is not really there is it? The people around you see this physical form of you but you're not really there, your mind is wherever your writing is. You're in a forest, a city an abandoned house, you're where your writing is. You're anything you want or whatever you want when you're a writer, your story never ends.


The life of a writer is a lot different than the life of an ordinary person. You're constantly writing something in your head, watching ending after ending go down in your mind. Everything you do you, not necessarily overthink, but you break it down and make it into many different possible endings. The life of a writer holds a lot of responsibility. You've got this world trapped in your mind that you feel the need to share with the rest of the world.


Writing for me gives me the chance to leave all the things going on in my life and enter a world that I have control over because that's the thing most people hate about life is the lack of control and when you're a writer you hold the pen, you hold the ability to create and end and start over. That's the most exciting thing about writing is your ability to control the people and events going on to make your characters stronger or give them a lesson. Writing is a beautiful thing and to express one's feelings and even others around you is a wonderful thing that should be appreciated 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.
