No More Stranger Danger

Hey, start spreading love and speaking your mind! We all start off as strangers.

No More Stranger Danger
Julie Vellender

Other strangers that are on street

So many we pass and never meet


Mama always said do not talk to strangers

Strangers are the ones who put us in danger


Not even recognizing the stranger in the mirror after it all

We can barely fake a smile in this war zone we are attending called Cinderella's ball


Unsuspected people commit these petty theft crimes

But it is all out of desperation of looking like a dime


But we never really do look at the deeper reason

So do not judge until you ask others about their season


What about the crippling weather that makes your mind barricade words

From the swift and scary winds do you draw out your sword


Do you raise all hell fighting or just lie being eaten by the wolves

In today's society, do not bother trying seeing what "back in my day" solves


Times have changed and will never be the same

It is suddenly all about playing these games


Maybe if we were nicer to the strangers on the street

There would be this possibility of our hearts skipping a beat


Isn't all everybody wants to fall in love

To fall in love, we have to get up and feed the doves


No more worrying about how you are seen

Make a difference in the way of being open with your heart, so gleaming


Do not focus on the makeup of a dime, instead give out your extra dimes

Perhaps these simple changes will lead to less crimes


Stand tall and speak your mind

There is no need to keep your words in a bind


Do the right thing because your Mama told you that too

Do not forget that you are a stranger to many people too

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.
