An Open Letter to Miss Independent: You Are Beautiful
Monica Bradley

This is a letter to the girl who has almost never needed someone there. You have always been the one who has been you're biggest support system. You have always been the one who picked up the pieces when everyone left. Girl, you were the only one who knew you're heart and everything it was. You may not have always had the independence you have now, however you did have that fire. There was always something there pushing you and driving you to be who you are. However, that always left you being the odd one out.

But I want to let you know that it is amazing.

Being independent has so much to offer. It gives you a sense of confidence that you have to your core. That confidence that no one can take away from you. Being independent also shows you how to be alone and to be happy about it. I mean when you get to a point where you enjoy being just you, oh man is it a sweet place to be in. Being independent also allows you to be who you were made to be, yourself. Now I'm not saying that being independent is the answer to all your problems, however it is the answer to many of them. I know for a fact that being independent myself has shown me how to pick myself up and how to love every bit of myself. I wish every single girl knew who they are, and found that on their own, because when you do, it's an irreplaceable feeling.

All I have to say is, find you and hold on to you. Because you are all you and that's beautiful!!

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.
