I Will Not Apologize For Not Being Her

Because I have so much more to offer than what you fail to see.

I Will Not Apologize For Not Being Her

I will not apologize for not being someone else; for not being what you expected of me. I have so much more to offer than what I "failed" to give you.

I will not apologize for not being the blonde bombshell with the caramel skin, the long tan legs, and the perfect body. There is nothing wrong with being that, but, it just isn't me. Yes, I must admit that I would love to look like that every once in a while, but I must remember I am beautiful in my own way. I will not apologize for having a few extra pounds that I could get rid of or some stretch marks, because God forbid I'd be human. So tell me I need to go to the gym or tell me those pants are too tight. It'll sting but I will blow it off eventually, because, in the end, your opinion doesn't matter to me.

I will not apologize for not wanting to take my clothes off the first night I meet you. I'm not like other girls. I have my own unique standards that do not need to be questioned or compromised . I am not a "slut" because I didn't sleep with you and I am not one if I do. I will not apologize for not being like other girls because I am not another girl. I am me.

I will not apologize for my faith. Yes, I love God and no, I am not ashamed of it. I will not apologize for not being "cool" or for not being "fun". I can have fun in more than just the way you define it. I'm not sorry I don't party with you and your friends. I'm not sorry that I don't drink until I can't control my body or my mind. That's just not who I am.

Me or any other girl aren't any less attractive, fun, or wonderful because we don't do what "other girls" do or look the way "other girls" look. We have so much more to offer than what we "fail" to offer you.

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.
