Mood Swings

Try to get better or try to have fun?

"Describe yourself when you're alone," he said, looking at me expectantly.

"Lonely," I said, looking down.

He was probably expecting some extravagant answer, but that's all I really had to say.

"You depend on other people?"

Well, that's an easy answer.

"Yes."

And now he's probably gonna scold me and tell me how I shouldn't.

"I do too. Couldn't even get better. Had to get a girlfriend in order to 'find myself,' but honest truth is I just found her. Don't know too much about myself."

This was taking an odd turn. I liked talking to him though.

"I'm very self-aware I just long for someone else to complete me. I feel lonely when I know that I have no eyes lingering on me."

He started laughing. "I feel out of place when people are looking at me."

It's a weird thought, for me at least, to not enjoy getting attention from people. "I might just be the biggest narcissist. I have a big problem with thinking I'm better than everybody else. I've got a huge ego and I can't tell you where it came from."

He sighed. "I don't think there is anything wrong with seeing yourself better."

"Don't encourage it because I see everything wrong with it." I started to get up, but he started talking again, quickly beckoning me to continue talking with him.

"I'm sorry you're lonely, but the only way to get over that is to find someone, in your case. You ought to do just that."

Now I could see where this is going. "And you're that someone I assume?"

He acted offended, "What? Me? I'm just doing what I can to get out of here and get better. I'm not looking for a girlfriend."

"Who said anything about girlfriend?"

He started blushing.

"Hey, I'm just messing with you. I'd be lucky to be your girlfriend. You were just hurting my ego a little bit."

His mood changed quick. "Hey, I don't know if this is such a good idea with the state of mind we are both in."

As if that would put an end to this.

"Good idea or not, I'm not gonna stop this if you're aren't."

He started smiling. I could change his moods changed quick, but it kept me interested. Usually I get up and leave conversations around now, but now I was too intrigued to just leave.

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.
