8 Children's Books With Valuable Life Lessons
Tumblr

The past three years of my life have been filled with children’s books. My parents have read books to my 3-year-old sister for just about her entire life. And on nights my parents were not home or busy with other things, I have had the honor of reading to her. After a while, I've realized I actually enjoy reading to her, and I even enjoy what I was reading. Some children’s books have valuable life lessons for a person of any age, and here are my top eight.

8. The Berenstain Bears and The Truth.

Always tell the truth.

7. Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

Some days are bad days, and that's okay.

6. Don’t Let The Pigeon Stay Up Late.

Don't stay up late, go to bed.

5. What To Do With An Idea.

Knowing what to do with an idea is important.

4. The Cat In The Hat.

Don't let strange cats into your house.

3. Green Eggs and Ham.

Don't judge a book by its cover. You can't dislike something you have never tried before.

2. The Giving Tree.

We don't understand the sacrifices that people in our lives make for us until later on in life.

1. Charlotte's Web.

This story is a lesson on true friendship.

We heard and read most of these stories as children, but the messages of these stories pertain to anyone of any age.

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.
