During quarantine, everyone was worried about wether things will go back to normal. During that time, I wondered as well, will I be able to have a graduation? Would I be able to meet my friends one last time, before we separate, creating our own little path in the world. To be honest, I was depressed thinking about how it wasn't going the way I planned. I had prom with my friends secretly, because I didn't want my parents finding out. (I was on house arrest). And then I was just handed my diploma and baam, I graduated from high school just like that.

Fast forward, I am now a sophomore in college and the situation is still the same. I am taking online classes, not going outside much. I should be enjoying my youth, but I am sitting here in my bed, having my classes online. It is very depressing. I am burden by the responsibilities I have at home. It doesn't let me step a foot outside the house. I am unhappy.( I sound a child). But I am. I can't use the word depressed too much. During this time. I tried picking up new hobbies that would make feel relevant somehow, and then I came across yoga. Yoga is not a hobby, it's more like a need for me now. I was first introduced to yoga by my acting teacher, but she made us do the basics, more like a beginner yoga, which was alright, but I wanted more. During quarantine, I tried doing yoga and I was in and out in that door. Sometimes I wanted it, sometimes, laziness would take over. I would always write in my journal, that I would do it, but I failed every time. But I am proud to say now, I am a completely different person, I take yoga way more seriously and it's gotten to me. Yoga has its benefits. It builds you up physically and mentally. It pushes you to the limits and it can improve your or my depressed life. Yoga taught me to take things slowly, give your mind and body a relax. Give a space of your own. To never give up, no matter what. To not let the situations control you. And mostly importantly, yoga makes your mind and body feel connected. You don't feel like a robot, but an actual human being. People say, that time and patience is the best medicine.

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.
