Warning: The following scenes are a bit sensitive and may be deemed explicit.

I can’t believe how much time had passed. But I was living on top of the world.

It turns out Standford really meant business. I was up for the biggest roles on the screen.

I had just finished a Broadway show and my star just kept shining brighter each time.

I should have been feeling like the whole world was at my feet. But I wasn’t. Some part of me felt empty and I just wanted that feeling to go away.

Oh, Eliza, you are going to blow it.

It is time to be happy.

But who was I kidding? I just couldn’t shake the nightmares.

Each time I closed my eyes I saw him.

The monster who raped me!

Damn it Eliza let it go!

Let it be!

I needed to get a hold of myself but each time I tried it became harder for me to shake the feeling it would happen again.

I wasn’t fond of the styles of dresses they chose for me.

Standford wanted me to look my absolute best. But the dresses were always tighter and shorter each time.

I couldn’t help but feel like a piece of meat surrounded by a bunch of men whose only interest was in my body.

I felt like a puppet, following orders and going with what they wanted me to do.

Then came the day I was asked to do a photo shoot.

Everything started out as normal, but nothing could have prepared me for what they wanted out of me.

“Topless?” I asked.

“Darling, calm down!”

“Stanford, I am not posing topless!”

“Eliza, please, darling. These shots will be tasteful. I promise you!”

“I just can’t Standford.”

I began to cry and shake.

After I did that Standford came to me. He took me to the back room.

“Eliza, please darling. Trust me.”

He patted my back and then handed me a glass of water with some pills.

“What are these?” I asked.

“Take them. It will help you relax.”

I hesitated for a moment, then took them.

After some time had passed I felt more relax and a bit intoxicated.

I remember the photographer coming near me and taking the photos.

Standford smiled as the photographer took the shots.

My clothes were almost all gone except for a sheet that covered me.

After that moment I knew that things for me would never be the same. Whatever innocence or self-respect lived in me was gone. Standford was just like the rest of them.

I tried to cover my tears as both Standford and the photographer placed their hands on me while taking the photos.

I felt so light headed I am not sure what happened. All I know is I woke up completely naked the next morning and next to me was Standford.

Why can’t I just walk away?

Why can’t I just leave?

“Hey, come back to bed darling," called Standford. Then, he grabbed my arm. Not soon after he had his way with me again.

Why bother anymore?

I am a prisoner.

I just can’t escape.

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.
