Tough Girls Have Feelings Too

And no, we do not want to talk about them.

Tough Girls Have Feelings Too

I like to think of myself as pretty tough. I never typically like to show any more emotion than the typical ones. You will know when I am happy and you will definitely know when I am mad, but it is a little more questionable to tell with all my other emotions. I have no problem telling someone when I am mad, but all the other feelings I do not wish to talk about LIKE EVER. That is just how I am. I know I am not the only girl like this who does not cry watching The Titanic or talk about her emotions literally 24/7. I just know so many more ways I would rather spend my time than talking about my feelings and being bothered by them. Since I am probably not the only girl like this, I wanted to inform everyone that tough girls have feelings too. We just handle them a heck of a lot different than everyone else and avoid ugly Kim K crying as much as possible.

Sure, we may not talk about them all the time. You may have to pull our emotions out of us when we are upset, but we do have them. We just do not like showing them. So do not make us think we have to cry watching The Titanic, and do not make us feel like it is weird that we do not talk about our feelings anytime something happens. Sometimes we cry at weddings and only sometimes, but that is usually due to alcohol consumption. It is okay to not cry, that is totally normal too. When we are upset and if it is important to us, we will be sure to tell you. But we would rather not waste our time crying unnecessary tears or talking about some boy who did us wrong because we know he is a fool for doing it. Just know that we have them and we will talk about them when we want to.

Also for all you girls out there who hate showing emotion, it is okay. It is okay to not be a "normal girl" and not talk about your feelings every second, but just know it is also okay to talk about your feelings when necessary. We all have different ways of going about our emotions, but one thing is for sure we all have feelings, unfortunately.

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.
