Your Modern-Day Dreamer Just Woke Up

She was the type of dreamer who passionately wanted to one day, wake up and everything would make sense.

Your Modern-Day Dreamer Just Woke Up
"A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world." - Oscar Wilde

It has always been in her nature to --- dream. Even though she did not believe in modern day-fairy tales, a part of her always wished it them be true. She was the type of dreamer who passionately wanted to one day, wake up and everything would make sense. Like, getting the answer as to why she got her heart broken (more than once), when she didn't receive the dream-job she so wished for, when she couldn't understand that the issues in the world seemingly looked so much bigger than life.

She dreamed about having those answers, having success, and having what America tells us that we will have in time ---- happiness. She planned too much for her future that she forgot to live in the present. Even though she wanted the answers to her problems, she still wanted contentment in the things she had.

One day, she got those answers, yet it did not fulfill anything within her because she realized that her existence does not rely on answers, her passions, or happiness, but God.

You see, as humans we naturally question things, we naturally have passions and talents, but that doesn't give us our worth. It comes with maturity to realize that answers do not necessarily have to come to satisfy our need. Jesus Christ fulfills that need.

She realized that it was not the pain, heartbreak, and doubts that she had that made her wake up, but merely understanding God's place for her in this world. It is not at all easy to find or understand, but it is possible.

She started to understand that it was not just about waiting for something to happen to bring her contentment, but seeing that trusting the arm's that God holds around her is more than the plans she had set for herself.

When she remembered this, God showed her a whole new world. It was not about the A Whole New World from the Aladdin movie that seemed to perfect and natural that you probably thought of while reading this. In fact, it is entirely different. You see, the talents, passions, weaknesses, and strengths that she has are different from anyone else's. She trusts in the fact that God made her an individual--uniquely made both in flesh, and in soul. There are trials that she faced and will continue to face, but they are only placed in her life to challenge and strengthen her. Just as God planned and anticipated.

Our Father knew that she would be hurt by the people and things of this world, but they were only placed in her life -- ultimately to change her heart and shape her heart to wake up to realize what is real.

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.
