9 Struggles Of Being A Late Bloomer
http://evoke.ie/

If you're a late bloomer, you had it hard the first decade (or two) of your life. Teenage years are hard to look back on without cringing, but somewhere along the way things turned around and you became the girl you were meant to be. Yet somehow, you still can't seem to leave those awkward, embarrassing years completely behind you. Here's 8 struggles only girls that were late bloomers will understand:

1. The guys who made fun of you in High school are now “slidin into your dms”

2. Or worse, when the guys who didn’t even know you existed in high school introduce themselves to you

Yes, we have met before.

3. You still have a problem flirting with guys sometimes because when a good looking guy shows interest in you, you suddenly become that awkward middle schooler all over again

Well, that didn't go quite as planned.

4. All the friend requests from old, popular classmates that you know are only following you to see what you look like

5. Creeping the now not-so-good-looking former jock you had a major crush on, whom would never give you the time of day

And yes, it does make you laugh a bit inside.

6. When people say you've "changed" as an excuse to not insult you

I mean, I hope I've changed.

7. The old friends that don’t recognize you at all

Hello, remember me? We were best friends for 12 years.

8. The middle school yearbook pictures that still haunt you daily

And that your Mom still has hanging all around the house

9. Being known for your personality, because that's just about all you had going for you

In the end, late bloomers are the best kind of girls. They know what it's like to be on top of the totem pole, and on the very, very bottom. Moral of the story is, don't make fun of the ugly duckling in your younger years, because she just may turn into a beautiful swan....or something like that.

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.
