2021.Worst or Best year?

Looking Forward to 2022?

2020 was the year that everyone wanted to forget, and it's not something that anyone wants to remember because of all the events that occurred in the previous year, and we're getting close to the end of 2021. What have we discovered so far? We have a new president, Joe Biden, who appears to be doing a good job, but not great. He is a better candidate than the last one; no one was a Trump supporter, and if you were, please accept my apologies. However, we finished 2020 on a relatively positive note when we chose Biden as our president and finally acknowledged that quarantine had had many benefits in terms of regulating covid. The year 2021 got off to a good start with the introduction of immunization. The immunization was in the works and would soon be available to the public, but they were, as promised, a little late. But, as the saying goes, "better late than never." Currently, half of the world has been vaccinated, and certain countries still require vaccines. India had the worst incidence of covid 19, and our state was busy discussing vaccinations, quarantine, and whether or not we would have to be isolated. However, no news appeared to be covering those countries that were suffering the worst. Students were then able to attend school in person. Some people, including college students, can attend classes online. Nonetheless, new covid instances appear on a regular basis. Christmas seemed to be warmer than usual, and no one seemed to wonder why. That is a serious issue. Global warming is a major issue, but we seem to be ignoring it because we believe it can't be reversed now. We can do better and change this problem; we won't be able to stop global warming, but we can take steps to prevent it from getting worse. Even though we are nearing the end of 2021, there are still issues. Winter has arrived. There has been a rapid increase in the number of covid cases; at least thousands are affected each day, and now we have omicron on top of it all. More vaccines and booster doses are required. Is 2021 a fantastic year or one of the worst? It is in the middle. It is a step behind 2020.

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.
