You Are Right Where You Are Supposed To Be

Stop worrying, you are headed in the right direction.

You Are Right Where You Are Supposed To Be
Angela DeGenova

Have you ever had that feeling of pure happiness? You're surrounded by friends, blasting music, and driving around. The world seems silent like it's just you are driving through it. You know you're stressed and there is a lot going on in your life, but for this one moment none of that matters and everything is calm and okay. You forget your worries and just sit there and smile-Smile for no reason. You're just happy and for a second you realize everything is going to be okay and work out. You don’t want this night to end because you don’t want to fall back into reality.

Those are the moments I live for because they are a reminder that I am exactly where I'm supposed to be.

Life really is not all that complicated; we just seem to make it more difficult than it really is. Everything is not going to be perfect all the time and that is okay. We are young; we are going to live and make mistakes. We are going to get let down and be hurt, but what we have to remember is that none of this will matter in a few years. You will grow from every experience in your life, whether it be good or bad. We have to stop stressing and worrying over little things because they may seem like a big deal now but they won't in the future.

We are uncomfortable when our life is not going as planned or we face an obstacle. People do not like the idea of things not going perfectly. Yet, we have to learn to accept these difficulties we face during our lifetime because that is just how life is.

So drive around blasting music with your friends at night, go to parties, cry on the bathroom floor, and scream when your mad. Just live. Live it all and stop wishing the days away because you are right where you are supposed to be and maybe you can't see that right now, but you are. You are on the right path and all of these experiences are just preparing you for who you are supposed to become and the future you, so just continue to live it and enjoy it all.

A few years from now you'll look back on all of this. You will remember all of the moments that you thought you couldn't keep going. You will remember the breakup that you thought you would never get over, and the friends you thought you wouldn't lose. You'll remember it all and you will realize you should have never been so worried about life back then, because it was simple and you got past it. You were right where you were supposed to be all along.

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.
