I Am In No Rush

With my life in Gods hand, I am in no rush.

I Am In No Rush
Annette Blanchard

Ever since we were children, we have been in a huge hurry to grow up. From wanting to look like the older kids to counting down the days until we started high school. Society has convinced everyone that we need to be in some huge rush to grow up. For a while I followed that same concept until one day I asked myself: why? Why should we want to go from riding a bike with training wheels to going 100 mph on a motorcycle faster than we can even keep up.

Instead of enjoying each year of our lives and living in the moments, we are pushed to try and become something we aren't even mature enough to be yet. I wish I would have taken more pictures during high school and I wish I would have just taken in every moment instead of always having to think about the future. Especially during my high school years, we were always asked about what we wanted to be when we grew up or where we wanted to go to college instead of asking us about our schools football team or simply how high school is going.

Maybe that's the problem with society today, they have convinced us the younger generations and the older ones that we need to always be worried about what's going to happen tomorrow. In reality we should be completely focused on today, you have no control over tomorrow so why spend every moment of today worried.

After spending so many years of my life being rushed into to being someone I wasn't ready to become yet, I am patiently taking my time. I am taking my time in becoming whoever I am destined to be. I don't want to become the girl who sits next to me in history class because she is not me and her life and her future will be perfect for her. Just like your life and your future will be perfect for every single one of you. That's why it is your future. Don't let anyone rush into picking a major, getting married, or even just meeting someone take your time you are in charge of your own destiny. I trust that with my life in Gods hands everything will turn out just right. So I don't know about anyone else but I am in absolutely no rush.

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.
