To The People Who Doubt Me

You are the reason why I get up in the morning, determined to succeed.

To The People Who Doubt Me
Caity Martinez

You are the reason why I push even harder to be the very best I can be. You are the reason why I get up in the morning, determined to succeed.

Your doubts have nothing on me.

This is my life and I am going to live it the way I want. I will not let your opinions, nor your judgment, stop me from it.

I am 20 years old. I know I am bound to make mistakes and take the wrong turns. It's all a part of growing up and finding who I am. There are going to be goals and dreams you may not agree with or think will not work out for me.

But you are not me. You do not walk in my shoes. You do not see from my perspective. You have not seen or been through the things that I have.

My wishes, dream, and wants in life, I feel with every part of my being. Deep within my soul.

I want to write a book at one point in my life. I dream to have a family of my own. I wish to change a person's life in a positive way.

I am using platforms like YouTube, blogging, Odyssey, and social media to spread positivity and light and to show people they are never alone. That they are beautiful, amazing, and deserve everything they want in this world because it is completely and utterly true.

If you don't agree with my views or opinions, it is very easy to ignore and keep going on with your life. In the end, I am going to pursue whatever I choose in life.

If it's researching in a lab, being a genetic counselor, a blogger, a writer, or all the above, it is none of your damn business.

I am going to live my life filled with so much love and happiness, knowing I made those choices.

Your doubts will not stop me from me from being truly content with myself.

I may change my mind over the years and go through situations that may develop new dreams and goals, but it will be all based on me.

Your doubts will not hinder me from achieving the unimaginable, and you are just going to have to deal with it.

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.
