To The Girl Who Cannot Seem To Let Go

Don't feel bad for being who you are but also don't hold onto the hold memories.

To The Girl Who Cannot Seem To Let Go

To the girl who cannot let go easily,

You hold onto everything. Whether it be something small like a necklace, a song or even the outfit that you wore on the first date, there's a certain memory to it.

A shirt with his scent on it. Gosh, you remember when he wore it for the first time and you thought to yourself, "Wow, he's so cute."

A certain song that takes you back to a great memory. "Drops of Jupiter" comes on and all you can remember is you two singing at the top of your lungs to the lyrics. Or that weird rap song comes on that he loves and all you can seem to remember is him on the driver's side trying to rap the entire song for you.

A receipt from the first date. You remember him getting so nervous on the first date that he dropped the knife on the ground in front of you and his whole face turned red.

Everything that has an ounce of meaning to it, you have it. While some may find it creepy, it's just who you are. You add sentimental meaning to everything because you're probably a hopeless romantic.

It's okay to hold meaning to little things. But it's more important to know that it's okay to let go.

That shirt that you have of his, give it back. It may hurt to do it, but in a way, it's hurting you more holding onto it.

That song that brings you back to the memory of you two singing, find a new song. Find a new song with someone even greater.

The receipt from the first date you two went on? Throw it away.

Don't feel bad for being who you are but also don't hold onto the hold memories. It's okay to move on and to make new memories. Be the best version of yourself and don't hold back because you're stuck on one small thing. Life is too short.

Sincerely,

The girl who decided that letting go was the key to happiness.

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.
