When Someone New Steals Your Heart

When someone new steals your heart, you're filled with many mixed feelings. You're excited but cautious, electrified but tame, intoxicated but vigilant. You've found this new person that somehow got under your skin. For forever, it seems, you've been left to look over past experiences for an ounce of thrill and the euphoria of falling in love, thinking that you'll never find someone as worthwhile as they were. But them comes in this person: someone that's unlike anyone you've ever met.

When someone new steals your heart, you're over the moon. You never thought it would happen again, you never thought you'd get off the single train, but hey, welcome back. The euphoria sets in, and you can't help but thinking about the next time you're gonna see him or her. Their smile, a smile you wanna start getting used to, makes your day. Their presence is just a breath of fresh air. You never thought someone new could do that, but they're doing it with even a little more flair, and you can't help but begin to fall for them, but...

When someone new steals your heart, you're a little cautious. You may have been down this road of a relationship before, you don't want to go all in — just to protect yourself from a potential heartbreak. Oh yes, you remember those times of heartbreak very well. They were times where you can't help but think how you messed up, times filled with instant regret and self-hatred, and times where you couldn't even look at the face in the mirror. You don't want another repeat of that. You're holding onto a grip of reality, knowing that it may not end well, that you may be hurt, and that your heart may be left in shambles, but if you don't try, you'll never know.

When someone new steals your heart, steal theirs. Be crazy stupid in love; take a chance on this new person who rocks your world with just one look from their big brown eyes. When you find someone that makes your heart flutter, cut the search for "the one" and take a risk. Maybe they'll tear your heart to shreds, maybe you'll take a while to bounce back, but at least you'll know how it ends. And over time, your heart is going to start to build emotional callouses, and the bad stuff will have almost zero affect on your wellbeing, because you've been through the hellish emotional roller-coaster rides and ups and downs of relationships starting and crumbling down. But maybe, just maybe, if the stars align and it works out, and it turns out you and this new person, who isn't going to be new forever, are in love for years to come, well hey, don't say I didn't tell you so.

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.
