Moving Up Or Moving On

There's a big difference between the two.

Moving Up Or Moving On
Personal Picture

Life gets difficult at times. We all know that. What we don't know is how we react to the difficult times help to shape who we are as people. We have to decide in that moment what kind of person we want to become. You can choose to move up or move on. Each option has its' own benefits, but one is better than the other.

After a breakup, why would you choose to just move on. It's like saying I want to move on to the next relationship, the next breakup, the next problem. Your day is filled with hatred for your job, situation, or life. You feel stuck in something that you didn't plan for or never wanted. You want to improve, but you're unsure of where to start. You don't want to continue down that same path. Why? We as people, with emotions and ideas are afraid to let go and move on. We fear the unknown and unexpected. That's okay. There's nothing wrong with being worried about things we can't control. But that's just it. We can control who we are as people. You have the choice to become better. You have the choice to be whoever you want to be and do whatever you want to do. We can become more than our parents, more than our peers, and more than ourselves. It just takes hard work and dedication to what you want. Choose to move up. Improve yourself and what you want out of your life. Life is a beautiful thing so why not live it to the fullest. Don't go backwards. Move up and keep striving for perfection or happiness. Do what will give you joy in your life. It's as easy as that.

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.
