Open Letter To Anyone Who Is Struggling In Life

You will be alright, I promise.

Open Letter To Anyone Who Is Struggling In Life
Allie Iver

To whoever is struggling with something right now:

Here is the thing you will be alright. I know that sounds insane and probably just downright cliché right now. You are just going through a difficult time and even though it may feel as though the end of the world is upon you I promise it isn't.

We have all had those moments from your heart being broken, the passing of a loved one, your parent's separation, and even your dreams not coming true. It sucks to be in that position, it sucks feeling as though the whole world is against you, it sucks not being able to find the happiness you once felt. See that's the thing you will feel that again.

There will be another guy to come along and make you feel as though the last one wasn't even worth a single tear.

Before you know it instead of feeling pain when thinking of your love one you will begin to think of the happy times, the happy memories and moments you shared and you will tell stories of them to your friends, family, and children. Don't get my wrong it still will hurt sometimes but you can't focus solely on the bad, don't you think they would want you to be happy?

As for your parents take this advice from someone who is a child of divorce, you will wake up every day and the sun will still shine and the birds will still sing and life will continue on. Your life will be completely altered but before you know it: it won't break your heart to think of how much life has changed. Instead, you will come to realize one very important thing in the words of Lilo and Stitch "My family is little and broken but good. Yeah, it's still good."

I am a firm believer in dreaming bigger and always having the courage to pursue your dreams no matter what anyone tells you. If one's dreams become unreachable or unachievable don't worry that's the amazing thing about dreams you can always find a new one.

So to whoever is experiencing a rough time in your life, you will be alright. It may not be today that everything goes back to the way it was before, it may not be in four months from now but I promise you will be alright. The sun will shine and life will continue on and before you even realize it you will rejoin life and everything will feel as though its back to normal. That's the key though your life will never be the same but that's the good thing change inspires brighter ideas, happier moments, and greater life experiences. Remember the words of Rex Allen, "There is a great big beautiful tomorrow!"

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.
