3 Times Hiding Something From Your Best Friend Is Necessary

Even though withholding secrets from your best friend might sound sketchy, I promise you nine times out of 10 it is not.

Recently, my best friend and her mom planned a surprise for my best friend. The toughest part about planning the surprise is keeping it from the person you tell everything to, and I mean everything. Even though withholding secrets from your best friend might sound sketchy, I promise you nine times out of 10 it is not.

1. Surprises.

If you are surprising your best friend, not ruining the surprise is your number one priority. By all means, do whatever it takes to not spill the beans. Lie if you have to. I would consider this to be the one exception to lying that is OK. Just don't make up an elaborate lie. Stick to simplicity; it's easier to remember.

2. If you know something that isn't worth sharing because it will only make your friend feel worse, don't share it.

Everyone at one point or another has a fight with their best friend. Make sure you live by the motherly motto, "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all." Sure, you can get mad at your best friend and they can get mad at you, too, but don't ever say anything extremely mean. Remember it's a bump in the road, not a dead end. You don't want that friendship to end.

3. Saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.

What I mean is saying something that could potentially get them in ton of trouble with their boss, parents, siblings, other friends or significant other. There is a time and place for certain conversations; make sure you know the appropriate time. This doesn't mean to not embarrass them; by all means embarrass them. Everyone knows I embarrass my best friend frequently.

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.
