It is not that hard.

A wise man once told me, "it doesn't matter what grades you get, it doesn't matter what you look like, it doesn't matter what you own, just be a good person." I took that to heart and I remember that every day. He would agree with what I have to say.

I don't have the right to tell you what today. I can't control your words or your faith. I won't tell you how to dress or how to take care of your body. That is not my place. My place is to support every other person, agree to disagree, forgive and forget, and tojust be a good person.

There are all types of people in the world. We all have different religions, experiences that change us, advice that inspires us, and situations that drive us. We all have a different path. We are all struggling in our own journies. Why waste your time being an obstacle in someone's path? Why judge others' in their decisions and lives? Turn back and look at yourself.Just be a good person.

It is not hard to be a good person. Treat others the way you would want them to treat you. Genuinely ask, "how are you?" and listen. Give out smiles like candy. Let go of the anger in your heart. Don't intentionally hurt someone or hope they fail. You can be a beautiful energy in the world that makes a change.Just be a good person.

You do not have to be extroverted and obnoxious to be a good person. You can be a quiet one if that is what you prefer! There is nothing wrong with being a quiet person. There are good people in all volumes, shapes, sizes, and colors. Do not judge a person by what you see, just be a good person.

Yes, not everyone has the same heart as you. Yes, there are mean people out there. You have to be the good you want to see in the world. Just be a good person. You have to take it in yourself to balance out the bad. Karma is a real thing, and it is better if you build your good karma over your bad karma.

We live in a divided world. We live in a world broken in hate. We live in a world of violence. You can make all the difference. You can make someone's day. You have the power. In a world that feels like it is falling into a toxic time, all I can say is justbe a good person.

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.
