"Open Your Heart to Everyone"

Apple send a Christmas message we should listen to all year long.

"Open Your Heart to Everyone"

It's the time of year again, where companies make commercials that are heartwarming and thoughtful. Commercials that paint a picture of unity, caring, and community. But this year there is one that really makes a statement, especially in light of current events.

Although I chose Android over Apple, I will admit that Apple creates some of the greatest commercials I have ever seen, something artistic and meaningful seems to be displayed in every one of their advertisements.

And this year, their Christmas commercial really hits homes, hopefully to all Americans, or all people, for that matter, worldwide.

It starts with Frankenstein, using an iPhone to record the song from a music box. He then uses his phone to learn the lyrics to the song. He grabs his hat, grabs a package, and walks through the woods into town. There is a crowd gathered around a Christmas tree in the center of town. He walks through the crowd who gasp in horror at the sight of him. He opens the package which contains two Christmas lights, screws them into his neck, pushes play on his phone and begins to sing "Home for the Holidays". The crowd watches in disgust, he starts to second guess himself, one of the lights goes out, and he stops singing. A man in the crowd shouts, "go home!", as others whisper to each other. But then a child, a little girl, waves him over, fixes the light in his neck, and begins to sing where he had left off and he joins in again. Soon the entire crowd begins to sings, shocking Frankenstein, spreading a smile across his face and bringing a tear to his eye.

But the most important part is the message at the end. The words, "Open your heart to everyone" flashes across the screen, right before the Apple symbol and the end of the commercial.

Our country and world has become so full of hate towards others, anyone different or unique, and that really needs to change. Why is it children who are constantly teaching how we should treat others, no matter who they are, where they come from, or what their background is?

Maybe it is because they are innocent and haven't yet seen the terrors of the world, but maybe that is how we all should be. We should all see people as people and nothing more than that. Definitely don't judge someone because of their background.

This commercial has a simple message, simple meaning, and is such a simple but meaningful concept. Be kind, care about people, no matter if you know them or not. It is so important to start showing compassion for people, everyone and anyone. This world needs a positive change. Apple is a big influence on our society. You listened to them when they told you to buy their new iPhone, listen to them now. Open your heart to everyone.

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.
