An Open Letter To People Who Hate Me

Hello,

How is hating me going for you? I hope it is going well because this is my letter to you to let you know that I do not ever think about you. Your strong distaste for my existence does not affect me like it affects you. You probably see me and feel angry. When I see you I smile because I know you hate me and I really don't care. I find it funny that you put so much effort into hating me and I rarely think of you. When I do think of you, I do wonder what I did to you to make you hate me. But then I realize, that I really do not care why you hate me. I do not lose sleep over you talking bad about me, or the dirty looks you give me in passing, or anything about you not liking me. You hating me is kind of flattering, because you probably think about me a lot more than I think about you! That is so sweet; it's nice to know that I am always on your mind!

So now I would like to explore the possibilities of why you probably hate me. I most likely did something that you did not like. I said something that made you upset, I did not follow some sort of social protocol, or your significant other liked me better than you. Whatever the reason is for you hating me, I am sure it is totally valid in your opinion. But here is the reality of the situation: You are holding some sort of twisted grudge against me for my actions or my mere existence. You make the choice to spend your energy disliking me for whatever reason instead of just moving past it. You consciously choose to hate me and that must take up a lot of your time. Could I suggest a new hobby, besides hating me? I am sure you would like gardening, fantasy football, or maybe even a nice hike would do you some good. I know that hating me must be a very time consuming and entertaining hobby, but I feel like your energy could be spent a bit more productively. But, hey, that is just my opinion and you hate me, so you probably do not care what I think. Get over yourself, get over me, and get on with your life. Or you could waste more time and energy on hating me, whatever works for you.

Sincerely,

The person you most definitely still hate.

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.
