An Open Letter To My Best Friend At Home

When can I see you again?

An Open Letter To My Best Friend At Home
Trisha Hassfurder

I love you more than you know.

And I wish you could have came here with me. We could have made friends, explored, and learned together, like we did at home.

It really sucks that you're still in high school. We could have gone on this grand adventure of leaving our small town in the dust together.

Instead, we have to settle for only seeing one another on my school breaks.

I miss you a lot.

I miss eating ice cream at your house until 1 a.m. on school nights and walking your dog around the block until the sun goes down. I miss making desserts together, and eating them all before your dad could get any. I miss playing board games with you and your mom. I miss telling you I'm coming over, and being there in 10 minutes or less.

I don't know exactly what's going on in your life anymore, just as you don't know details about mine, and it absolutely breaks my heart.

I have best friends at college too, and they're wonderful and you would like them a lot and they would like you. I can't wait until all of you can finally meet each other. I promise they wont take your place.

I started watching your favorite series on Netflix because it reminds me of you and that makes it so much better. I'm on season five now.

I tell everyone I know all about my best friend at home that likes goats, is in a rival high school, and does color guard. They might know you better than some of your own classmates.

Our nonstop snapchats of outfit choices, death threats, disgusting faces, and sweet 'i miss you's are some of the best parts of each day. I love when you tag me on social media in random pictures that make you think of me.

The absolute best part about coming home for a few days is always to see my dog and you.

I know this summer, I will see you every moment I possibly can and we will have the best time of our entire lives and maybe we can go on vacation and camping and swimming and watch an entire season of Netflix in one setting.

But I'll still have to leave in the fall and you'll still have to stay.

Maybe next year you can come up to visit me on weekends and I can go home more often.

We will keep in touch like we are right now, using Twitter, Snapchat, texts, calls, and Facetime. But, I promise I'll be home as soon as possible every time I leave, because I love you and I miss 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.
