An Open Letter To My Stepdad

My Step-Dad taught me so many things, I don't know what I would do without him.

An Open Letter To My Stepdad
Jared

"A Step Parent is a truly amazing person. They made a choice to love another child as their own."

Dear Stepdad,

I want to first start off by saying thank you. Thank you for taking me in as your own child. When my mom decided to start dating again I was scared that I was going to get a person that wouldn't love me or my sister as their own child. I felt that we would be pushed to the side and you would not care for me or my little sister, but you were quite the opposite of a terrible step-parent. You made it known that yes I am not your real dad, but I am going to be the best step-dad that I can possibly be to you and your sister. You make my life very exciting and there is never a dull moment with you around. When you married my mom, I was terrified. I had heard such terrible thing about step-parents and you were far from it. I couldn't imagine not having you in my life. You treated me like your own child when you didn't have to. We take countless trips together and have made such amazing memories with one another. I love that you are so handy and when something needs to be done it gets done no matter what it is. Life can be a little crazy sometimes and I don't get to thank you for all of the amazing things that you have done in my life. You have had such an amazing impact on my life, and I just want to thank you so much. I love you.


Love,

Your Stepchild

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.
