Love Conquers All

A college story of how difficult love can be, but also how rewarding it can be.

Today was not the greatest for me, but I learned something very special. I got into an argument with my fiancée over something stupid and said some things I should not have said. I got hung up on (several times) and eventually she turned off her phone. It drove me crazy knowing how upset she was.

Now, I know I'm not the greatest guy, but...

I know when I've done wrong. Love is hard. I thought I lost her; the last thing I said to her before I was hung up on was not "I love you." It was something that rhymed more with "duck poo." I honestly regret it, but I know that we all say things we do not mean when we get angry. It is just up to us to make things right. I felt like duck poo. I know what I said was wrong, and I wanted to do everything I could to fix it. Both of us are too stubborn to give up on what we decide. But before I move on, I have another story of crazed love lost.

About a year ago I was really close to some other girl (this was before I met my current fiancée), and we had grown up together. Her name was Kailee, and I was going to marry her. Last thing I told her was that I could not wait to see her. about a week later, with not a word from her, my sister called me into her room. It was around midnight. She and Kailee were the best of friends; they were excited to become sisters (in law). My sister informed me that Kailee was found to have committed suicide. We were both devastated.

A couple of months later, I was used and abused by my best friend, and even led to believe that she loved and cared for me. I eventually became numb. I thought I loved her at one point, but I did not. I couldn't have after what she did to me. The recovery process from both of these incidents were very difficult, and I am still recovering.

Now it's been almost a year since all of that happened, and now I'm in this situation. It took her a while to finally answer me. The good news is we are still together, and we "kissed and made up," as they say. The bad news? I haven't figured that out yet.

The point is...

Love is hard, and love is easy to lose, if you aren't careful. I almost lost my fiancée over some petty argument. I almost lost myself in sorrow and pain. Love everyone, but be careful who you place your greatest love in. Be sure you can trust them with your heart, because if you trust them with it, they could break it at any time they wanted. Does this mean they will? Of course not. For all I know, you could know the best people in the world. Either way, love conquers all.

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.
