What I Learned About Myself

My philosophy professor asked my class to answer this question on the last day before finals. I began writing, and couldn't stop.

I wrote, "I'm capable of doing more if I put my mind to it. If I push myself, I'm able to do unreliable, positive, helpful things. This semester, in general, helped me to open up, be even more outgoing, and free myself from any restrictions I may think I have. I'm doing amazing things with The Princess Project by helping people and changing children's lives. I'm beginning to love myself more than I ever have and I absolutely love the feeling.


I have my friends, family, and boyfriend to thank for helping me grow so much over the course of a couple months. I'm more confident, happy and feeling more successful and rich in what I already have. I've been doing amazing things with my writing and I'm getting nothing but 110% support from everyone.


I have an amazing new family and friends in The Princess Project. I've learned so much from these ladies and gentlemen this semester. I've always wanted to be apart of something that helps and inspires people. It's the most amazing feeling in the entire world. I can't wait to change more lives when I visit dressed up as Alice in Wonderland. I can't wait to see the same look that kids give Elsa, Ana, Tinkerbell, Aurora, Rapunzel, Cinderella, and Pocahontas, when they have their jaw to the floor and hands on their cheeks, when they finally get to see Alice.


To my amazing friends outside of The Princess Project, thank you for being my rock, my armor, and my strength every single day. I don't know who I would be without you. Amanda, Liseth, Kait, Sam, and Jenny, thank you for being my number ones at college. You are the most amazing friends anyone could ever ask for. No words can explain how much I love and appreciate you.


Connor, my handsome, thank you for being so supportive of my writing, my personal issues, my school work, and anything else that I may be forgetting. You are my world. I'm so happy to be by your side and for you to be by mine. I'm so proud of you and every single thing that you do. You are my number one, my world, and I love you more than you could ever imagine.


Mom, George & Michael, you are all amazing. You are my anchor and my soul. Thank you for loving me, caring for me, and be there for me no matter what. I don't know what I would do without you.


Thank you every single one of you for helping me grow, change for the better, and accomplish so much. I love you all so much."

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.
