From The Girl Who Had To Find Herself

Figuring out who deserves to be in your life and who doesn't.

Last year around this time of year I lost myself. I was unhappy and I wasn't the person I wanted to be. I lost a sense of who I was and what my morals were.

I thought I would never snap out of it then I realize that I was stronger than what I was going through. My best friends betrayed me and that's when I realized I had to pick myself up by myself, for myself.

My friends were hanging out with people that hurt me and bullied me and made me feel that they didn't value my feelings. I was in an incredibly toxic relationship and once I got out of it I thought my friends would encourage me more.

It ended up being a sinking ship with my friends and they were actually bringing me down more. The guy I was in a toxic relationship with made me feel that I wasn't good enough for anyone including myself. He manipulated me and brought me down to a point I became extremely vulnerable.

I finally met someone now who makes me extremely happy and loves the person I am. Moral of it all, you must love yourself and find out who you really are before you can be completely happy.

You have to reach a dark point to realize how strong you are. It's definitely tough going through betrayal but once you get out of it all you'll find a new happiness. You become a little selfish but sometimes you have to be in order to find yourself and making yourself happy is most important to your well being.

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.
