An Open Letter To My Freshman Year Best Friend

Howdy there,

I see that you're doing so well and I couldn't be happier for you. I'm beyond happy that we've managed to keep in touch. You were my rock all throughout freshman year. You were a steady friend who I could always count on. You had my back, gave me advice, and always kept it real. And when I was down, you picked me up. I was so excited to be going into my sophomore year with the most loyal friend as my roommate. But you weren't happy here, and I support your decision to leave because it was what was best for you.

I miss you, by the way. I miss our random late-night adventures and having a girl by my side that I could count on no matter what. I've never really been one to hang with the girls, but you, like me, hated the drama. We did the simplest things, but they always were a good time. Walks to the river, late nights by the campus pond, and even trips to the library -- because it was basically the only place on campus to print a paper or study guide.

We were by each other's side during the scariest time in our lives. It was the first time we were away from home and on our own, but you were that random co-worker who happened to be in my class and from there on out, we were pals. We haven't seen each other since the last day of freshman year when we swore we'd see each other soon, but we haven't since. And I have a good feeling that this will be the year we reunite.

We may not constantly talk and we haven't seen each other (in person) in two years, but I don't hesitate when I call you one of my best friends. I know that you'd be there if I needed you. I know you'd pick your phone up if I called you to cry about something. And I know you're a lifelong friend. Because friends like you are one-of-a-kind. You have a heart of gold and you've always gone above and beyond for your friends and I respect you so much for that. Even those who didn't deserve your friendship, received it. You gave endless chances and never asked for anything in return. And that's something that I could never overlook. I don't think I could ever betray you even if I wanted to. I don't understand why anyone would want to.

Again, I'm so happy to see you succeeding. I'm happy to see that life is treating you well. And I'm happy that you've found what you've been looking for. And if you're ever in doubt of anything, don't hesitate to look through your contacts and click my name to call. Because I've got your back till the end, sister.

XoXo
Your (Almost) Roomie

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.
