You Think You Run The World

Trust Me, You DON'T

Let me start off by saying college is full of a lot of fake people. People that will act like they are your best friend one second then completely hate your guts the next. Well let me tell you, you mean nothing to me, you never have and you never will.

I have dealt with stuff like this my whole life and it has never effected me, so why would it now? Oh wait, it doesn’t. You think I don’t notice all the dirty looks behind my back, the fact that you include everyone else in stuff but me, I don’t care. When being in a group you love to point out things that I am not involved in and I just sit there and laugh. If you would see how pathetic you are making yourself look you might understand but that’s how you are, you may never learn. You also may never learn that it doesn’t really affect people how you want it to, people learn to grow without you. Trust me I don’t need you to survive college like others think that they do. People think that you are "Queen Bee", but trust me they will all soon learn how you treat others and how it will “effect” them in the future.

I’ve grown to know that there is one person in my life that isn't even family who treats me like the world. I don’t need your fakeness, the constant talking behind my back. Everyone tells me what you do and say and I’m glad they do because honestly it’s quite entertaining. I go days without talking to you, and if I do talk to you it's only a friendly “Hi” in passing in the hall.

You talk to others in ways that you think I can’t understand but trust me I know what you're saying, it’s obvious. I’m glad you feel that way. Like come on, let’s be real you’re only hurting yourself in this type of situation because once everyone realizes what you are doing they will all turn their back on you and go on living their lives.

I’ve learned in my 19 years that I don’t need tons of friends, I have a family that is behind me and the one friend I need. I may not talk to her everyday but heck she means more to me than you ever will. Will you ever have that one friend you can always count on? I doubt it.

I may have talked to you in the past but I have never considered you anyone that I would go to lean on for anything. I’m my own person, the person that doesn't need you holding me back from everything I plan to do with my life.

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.
