Life is hard, and we all deal with so much. One thing about us all is our circumstances are all unique in their own way. We are all biased about the level of toughness a situation may be on us and although we hear people say "I have gone through tough moments," no one truly understands how hard things are but ourselves. But please know that you will get through it. You will find a way out and you will succeed in whatever you place your heart and mind into.

When it comes to my own tough moments, one way I learned to cope and resolve things is by first relaxing. At the moment of catastrophe, your brain and feelings are all over the place. In order to assess an issue, you have to be fully aware, awake and focused. Try to relax. You can draw, write, clean, go out for a jog or whatever to relax your mind. Once your brain and body are relaxed, you can focus better on analyzing any issue.

When in the analyzing portion, try to see where the problem came from. Retrace your steps and figure out where things went wrong. From there, you will know the right people to ask questions to for help. If you can't find anyone, look for an advisor or social worker that might have the answers you're looking for. From there, you execute solutions and put them to practice, in other words, you put the Plan A, B and maybe C to action.

You will feel better at the end because with every plan, you are slowly solving the issue. Don't give up until you have reached your goal. Life is a roller coaster, in every high, there is a low and vice versa. The point is, we will always have days that are tougher than others, I am not going to sugar coat things here because life is not a fairytale, but we can all choose to go through it and become stronger in whatever we go through, because first, it will get us to become better people, and second, we can help others going through similar issues. Remember, it is just a bad day, not a bad life. Don't give up.

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.
