Why Respect is Important
psychologytoday

Respect. Respect is something that goes a long way. You give respect, you get it back in return. Or at least that is how it is supposed to work. Here lately I have been faced with many disrespectful people. People such as those who disrespect your property when you have asked repeatedly for them to leave such object alone. Then of course there is always that one person who has to have a smart mouth about every single thing imaginable, even when it is uncalled for.

I am sick and tired of these types of people. I have been dealing with them my whole life and if I let it go on any longer I am going to explode inside. Everyone knows that one person who is rude about everything or simply just doesn't care about anything at all, so I know I am not alone in this boat. Oh and while we're at it, lets not forget about that other person who thinks everything they have or own is better than the rest in this worlds existence. Please! Give me a break for crying out loud! I am so done with all of the nonsense that currently exists within society.

Nothing or nobody in this world is better than everything or anyone else like it. All humans are humans. If you are complaining about not receiving enough respect, well then maybe you should look at your own actions and words to see that the real problem in the situation is you. The world does not revolve around you and it never will. You must earn your respect, or else you will not receive it and be seen to the outside world as a total jerk.

My entire life I have done nothing but try to please others around me. Majority of the time I feel like I am a failure, worthless, and unimportant. I do nothing but show respect for others, try to help them, etc., and I feel like I never receive anything in return, I am unhappy with how all of this plays out onto the table. Why can't the world have more respect like what it seems like it used to?

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.
