There is more to life than being a full-time princess

Why The Olympics Is Important For Little Girls

From the age of 2 to 10, nothing in the world is as great as being a princess. The elaborate gowns, handsome men, and singing your way through life is all you ever want. However, reality isn't filled with servants and crowns. Reality is hard. It isn't all giggles and songs, and it certainly isn't all about finding your husband. In life, there is hard work, dedication, set backs, and triumphs.

The Olympics are the sign of struggle and triumph. All athletes put in all of their effort, and sacrifice a lot in their lives to be able to be great athletes. To be able to achieve a dream of theirs. There are so many athletes that achieve greatness, and women athletes are amazing ones. Little girls should be watching the Olympics. They should be watching Aly Raisman and Simone Biles kill it on the beam and floor. They should be watching Simone Manuel and Katie Ledecky breaking records in the water.

Girls should be watching and observing that women can be powerful and strong. They can achieve goals that they set for themselves. Girls should know there is more to life than being a princess. Girls should want to be warriors in their own way, whether it be becoming an Olympian or running their own business. Girls should be inspired by other strong women they can watch on TV just as they watch Cinderella or Snow White.

When you are young you are so impressionable you soak everything up like a sponge in water. It is good for young girls to witness these events that women are competing in. They should see that there is more to life and that they can achieve great things. Finding role models at a young age that are confident and powerful is important. Seeing that there is a world other than a fairy tale is important. They should know they can set big goals for themselves, and accomplish them all.

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.
