When You Need A Hug

There are plenty of hugs to go around.

When You Need A Hug
callistoassociates.com

Two arms wrapped comfortably around my shoulders to my back, squeezing just enough to receive maximum satisfaction.

Hugs.

They are quite a wonderful thing.

Good for your health, and good for the soul.

Whether they are best friend hugs, family hugs, bear hugs, quick hugs, or super long hugs that you never want to end.

Hugs are just awesome.

When you are having a bad day, or just not a good day, and you are with friends. If one of your friends just knows, and they come over and give you a hug. It is a feeling of relief sometimes when you can just hug someone instead of having to rant about whatever may be wrong.

Or how about those hugs that you do where you are lying down with someone you love. When your feet are all tangled together, and you are just laying there on the floor, or in bed, hugging. It could be a gentle hug like the two of you are falling asleep, or it could be a tight hug that brings your chest close to your partner's for reasons you may wish to keep to yourself.

Sometimes you just need a hug to say hello, or goodbye for that matter.

There are also those hugs where you sway back and forth with someone in content.

Or there are the hugs where you scream in excitement and jump up and down because of something joyous that just happened.

Oh, and there are the hugs you give to your grandparents or uncles and aunts in gratitude.

However, we cannot forget about friendship hugs.

These are the hugs that sometimes show all our emotions simultaneously. Where we have so much going on in our minds that we let it all out.

When you become part of a cheesy cliche movie at the airport picking up your friend, and the two of you run into each other's arms because you haven't seen each other in such a long time.

Where you are crying in the hug because you missed that person so much that a hug and a cry is all you can do in that situation.

There are also the hugs and crying when you are about to leave someone you love, or someone you love is about to leave you. That is also a time when all you can do is hug and cry it out, because in that moment, your heart is hurting from the sadness.

Giving hugs to strangers is also a great thing to do, because you never know when that could simply make a person's day. You never know if that is just something that they needed to get through the day.

So, my advice for anyone out there, give someone you love a hug. Give someone you don't love. Just give hugs. They are needed everywhere.

To those who are in need of a hug today....sending virtual hug right now.

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.

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
