I Really Don't Understand Why It's Such A Problem That I don't like kids

Why would you think that I enjoy listening to screaming babies and children?

Before you get your panties in a wad saying, "Oh you must not want kids then?" No, actually you're wrong, I do want children but mine will know how to act in public places and around people. I also won't be that asshole parent who lets their kid scream in the restaurant or store uncontrollably without taking them outside.

Person: "Do you like kids?"

Me: "No, but some day I would like to have a family of my own. I just hate the sounds of children screaming, it irritates me to no end."

Person: *poker face*

Do you enjoy hearing other peoples children scream when you're trying to have a nice date night or a nice family dinner out? If you answered "no" to the previous question, some part of you doesn't like kids either. No, screaming children do not come with the job of being a parent. As a parent you are supposed to teach your child right from wrong and scold them when necessary.

When I hear a screaming child in my work place or anywhere out in public, I literally steer clear and hope that parent will take care of their child, but in reality, most do not and just let their child continue to scream like someone is murdering them. If you let your child do that in a store, you are the problem.

It is probably the fact that I am the baby in my family and did not have the "pleasure" of dealing with a screaming baby myself or the fact that maybe its because I am only 19 years old. Since I want to work in a hospital, people ask me all the time if I plan on working with children because I would be "good with them," and when I tell them no, that I don't like kids, it's like I told them I strangle puppies in my free time. It's not that deep.

Yes, one day I do plan on having a family of my own and having probably about 3 children, but now I have no plan on that and don't want anything to do with them. So the next time someone tells you that they don't like children, please refrain from giving them the stank look, some people just don't want to start popping out babies as soon as they reach adulthood.

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.
