To The One Who Tried To Extinguish My Flame, I Will Rise Above The Ashes

You may have cost me friendships and sanity, but I have risen and become the better person.

To The One Who Tried To Extinguish My Flame, I Will Rise Above The Ashes

To the one who tried to destroy me,

You lie, manipulate, and use people to do your bidding. You get others involved in fights not related to them because you were grasping straws to find a way that you were right, even though you were clearly in the wrong. I know I had done my own sins in this twisted tango, but what I had done would be considered child's play in comparison to what you did.

You caused me to lose four life-long friendships because of your manipulation, friendships I later realized didn't mean anything anyways. I have found better friends who care about me, in fact, I'm getting a cookie from one of them today (thank you, Anya, for the cookie, it was delicious.) I found people who don't use me and actually care about me without an agenda behind them, they know my weaknesses, but they don't use them against me when they are found in the wrong. I've gotten a closer bond with my Odyssey family because they were there when you were tearing me apart piece by piece.

I wasted several tears over you because I never thought that you go this far to try to ruin me, but you did. Even to this day you still deny ever sending those messages to one of my friends, even though I still have the screenshots. All this happened because you got called out about treating me like crap and no one wasn't gonna deal with it.

You tried to destroy me, you really did try and you almost succeed, but you didn't. Yes I am cold-hearted towards you, and I hold grudges, but that because you've done things to me before and I'm sick of it. You still deny everything that has happened, you only apologized because you had to, not because you wanted to apologize.

I am much better without you, I am on the dean's list, I have respect from others, and I don't live in misery. You tried to put out the fire, but I have risen from the ashes and this fire glows.

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.
