Why I Will Never Give Up

And that is why I will never give up.

Why I Will Never Give Up
Pix Teller

In my life, I have been dealt an interesting hand of cards.

I won’t say that I have had the hardest life and I definitely won’t say it is the easiest.

But one thing that might separate me from a lot of people is that I have powered through a lot of things. Even though there have been moments where I just want to give up, I don’t. I will always try to push through problems no matter what.

My mind is a very hard thing to figure out.

I go through these moments when I feel like I want to give up. I have moments where I feel like I can’t keep going and then it hits me; that second wind of passion and I keep pushing onward.

My thought process is a very lovely equation: what I want + passion for that thing + pain from the past = drive to get that thing.

I’ve watched people give up and to me, that is just not an option. Through any health issue I’ve ever had, I’ve never let it stop me.

I used to let it get me down but then I realized that I can’t change anything but I can keep going.

There’s so much I want to accomplish in my life and I refuse to give up on any of my dreams.

One thing that I have learned is this: When you put your mind to something and you truly want something, you won't give up. So when you think about giving up, push a little harder.

If you want to accomplish something, keep going for it. Keep fighting for it and don't give up until there's nothing more you can do.

There have been many times where I have wanted something but I have failed trying to get it. But I keep going and going until I can't possibly go anymore (or what I want isn't possible to get anymore).

If something is worth it to you, then you will continue striving for it. You will know if it is or isn't something you want by how you feel about something.

Stay on YOUR path and never stray away from what YOU want.

Most importantly, a good reminder is to remember that your past doesn't determine your future.

I want my life to be better than it has been so far. I want to be successful and I want to be happier.

I want to accomplish more than those before me did. I want to make a change and a differemce.

I want to feel like I have nothing to worry about.

And that is why I will never give up.

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.
