To The Girl Who Thinks She's Not Good Enough

You look at yourself in the mirror, and stare. Stare so hard your eyes are piercing with pain. Just from looking at the mirror. Trying to see yourself, but you can not. You struggle too. You struggle with the little things. Other's would tell you it's nothing, but to you, they are huge. Struggle with the hard words, the comments. And you fake it like everything is fine, when it is not.

You do not see yourself. When you look at the mirror, you are empty. You feel absolutely nothing, and for some time you are fine with that. Even when you know, you should not be. Nobody says the words, "you're not good enough." But nobody has to say those words, because you think it. You think it is the truth when it is not. But you cannot stop believing it is true, so you continue to do so.

What they don't tell you though, is you are though. You are good enough but you, yourself is the only person that you need to convince that you are. Through the good and the bad, it is important to know that and to believe that.

So you implement change. And do whatever it takes. You set goals for yourself, whether they be the tiniest of goals. Because you are enough, you just need help proving it to yourself.

It's the little things that count. You don't lose hope, instead, you fight through.

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.
