I'm not going to wait 10 minutes before I answer your text.

An Open Letter to the Boys of My Generation

I'm not going to leave you on open for a few minutes before I respond to your snap.

I'm not going to wait 10 minutes before I answer your text.

I'm not going to agree to Netflix and Chill.

I'm not going to build walls around my heart so that you can't come in.

I'm not going to talk to you while I have 10 other guys on the line.

I'm not going to hide you from my parents.

I'm not going to ghost you.

I'm not going to plaster you on my social media.

I'm not going to stay distant so that I can make a clean break without a broken heart.

I'm not a fan of whatever "talking" is.

I'm not going to play all those games.

I'm going to love hard. I'm going to love recklessly with a ground-breaking love. I'm not afraid of a broken heart. I know how to pick up the pieces. I want to love so hard that it could rip my heart. Because when it comes down to the end of my life, I don't want to say, "I should have loved and let myself be loved." Because when I go I want to leave this life shattered. Not one part of it untouched.

I'm going to commit to you. There is no one else. I don't have a second choice, a plan B or C or D. It's you or no one.

But you know what else I'm not going to do?

I'm not going to sit around and be your second choice.

I know my worth. I know who I am. That doesn't make me cocky. That makes me independent and secure in myself.

So, go have fun with the girls that will play your games and when you decide you want "wifey material" come back around to let me decide if you'll make the cut for husband material.

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.
