An Open Letter To the Continental Breakfast I Had This Morning

You ruined my morning – and my life

To my continental breakfast that I had this morning,

I don't know if you're even reading this right now – I don't know if I even care, anymore.

I understand, I know you don't want to talk. After so many beautiful mornings shared, an endless bond to end all bonds – it fell apart. You ruined my morning. I just need substance in my life, and also breakfast. You've given everything you had, and I respect your unabashed efforts.

You left me, and you left me unsatisfied. The void in my stomach calls out in swells for more, each passing minute brings exponentially greater pangs – of hunger. Some days we made do with your coffee and bread, and my dwindling appetite, but I don't even drink coffee. You know this. Time cures all? Don't stuff that cliche down my throat, and don't stuff that English muffin down there either, I wan't eggs. None of that pansy, across-the-pond rubbish.

Do you remember when we first met? I had on a plain, black shirt, with jeans. I didn't want to impose -- I had just purchased the shirt that morning, I was excited. You were wearing strawberry jam and a napkin. I appreciated your candor, and respectability. Where have those gone. What I see now is a shell, an egg shell, of a hard boiled egg, of yourself. We're straining our relationship, and ourselves, instead of properly straining orange juice to accompany a hearty meal filled with protein instead of infinitely empty carbs.

Know that I don't blame you. We've grown apart -- though I believe I haven't literally grown, on account of the lack of important Omega-3 fats and growth-associated vitamins. I certainly bear a portion of the blame. My life has been in disarray -- my meal times vary. I surprise you, at the table, then curse the skies when you're not prepared. I was unfaithful. I went to restaurants -- nay, I ate at restaurants -- ate breakfast. I couldn't satiate my hunger. For that, I'm sorry.

But know that you enabled it. Muffins are not healthy -- I cannot stress this enough. Don't hastily smush some blueberries into a halfhearted muffin bottom and tell me it's good for me. I can see right through you.

It shouldn't have ended like this, with such a sour taste in my mouth. Don't pretend you don't know why. Tonight, we dine in hell, which assuredly offers more than some paltry fruit collection and various breads.

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.
