A Poem For National Best Friends Day
lifehack

June 8th is National Best Friends Day. As can be said for any holiday or observance, the people being honored should be appreciated everyday, not just one day out the year. While this is certainly true, I think it is important to have a day designated specifically for friendship. Friends, however cheesy the saying is, are the family that we choose. I have experienced the highs and lows of making new friends as well as mostly just the lows of feeling like I have no friends. Throughout the journey, I have realized how important of a role my best friends play in my life. From remaining close to some friends and growing distant from others, I have come to realize how amazing my friends in my life are. They are my support system, my confidences, my partners in crime. My best friends are the ones I can be most myself around because I know they will not judge. Even though I know all this to be true, I do not always tell my friends just how much I love them. This is why I believe National Best Friends Day to be significant. In honor of this day, I have written a poem as a tribute to my best friends.

Make me smile,

Make me laugh,

That’s just who you are.

Always bring a joyful face;

Happiness is ours.

I can always count on you

to lift me up when I’m down.

That’s why I just want to say,

I’m glad when you’re around!

Above all, I want to say thank you. The hard times are made easier and the normal times brighter with my best friends by my side. My life would be incomplete without them.

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.
