To The Family Members Who Inpsire Me To Be Great, Thank You

People come and go as you go on through life, but the ones who stay by your side every step of the way are the ones who are most important. Personally, I have quite a few people who inspire me and who have stuck by my side no matter what road in life I am on.

My grandfather. Personally, I like to think I'm his favorite, but all jokes aside, he's truly there for me. He isn't one to talk much or get emotional or talk about his feelings, but he's always there. He listens. He doesn't hover, and though he isn't one to do the talking, he says the right things when you need them. He's been my right-hand man since the day I was born, and he'll always be my go-to guy.

My grandmother. She is my strength. She gives me the strength I need even when she's at her lowest and weakest points. She is currently battling breast cancer, and even on her most painful and tired days, she puts in the effort to make sure I'm okay. She fights like hell and there's not one person I know that is stronger than her.

My mom. She gives me clarity. She keeps me on the right track and where I should be at life. When I don't know what direction to go, she shows me the way. She teaches me the right ways and makes sure I steer clear of the wrong ways. She gives me the knowledge I need, even when I don't know I need it.

My dad. He lights up the world. He's a genuinely happy person and makes an effort to speak to everyone he sees. He's joyful and proud. He lights up my life.

These are just a few people who mean the absolute world to me. They inspire so much to be the best I can be and to do something great. I wouldn't be who I am, or where I am in life without them.

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.
