Dear sleeping beauty,

When you wake up what is your experience? Is it something like hearing the beautiful noise of birds chirping, the wind blowing, or knowing that today is the day that you're ALIVE?

You're up and moving, you can breath,and you can do things. Are you aware? Are you being appreciative of the moment? Some people wake up without acknowledging the fact that they can even hear those birds chirping. Or maybe they've overlooked the bright reflection that the sun is sharing upon their window.

People take advantage of the natural and supernatural gifts placed upon their lives each and everyday. Watching the cars flow through the streets, yet still they’re not aware. Because instead of being amazed with how far mankind has came with technology, it’s the negative disadvantages that catch the eye.These people are not truly “woke”. So I say to you, if you're one of these sleeping beauties who have been taking the Earth's gifts for granted, change your ways. Do something for our planet, and make an effort everyday to leave your mark!

“Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet”.

A touch of philosophy from Aryonne Genae’Link:“Challenges will arise, but it’s up to you to overcome them. Look at the bright side at least you have challenges to face, some people are dead…”

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.
