Can We Start Over?

Let’s not forget about what happened between us but let’s not make it the focal point of our friendship anymore.

Can we start over? I know we have been through so much and I know that we were so close at some point, but can we start over? I feel like we have peaked in our friendship and now we are on the slippery slope downwards with no traction to slow us down even the slightest. I don’t want our friendship to end. Some people just grow apart and their relationship goes with them. That can’t be us. I don’t want that to be us. I won’t let that be us. I need us. I need our friendship. I need you.

So let’s start over. Let’s not forget about what happened between us, you know I never could, but let’s not make it the focal point of our friendship anymore. There is so much more to us than what happened in that one month or two. Let’s re meet each other. Reintroduce ourselves. I know I am a completely different person than I was when I met you for the first time. I know you are a different person as well. So let’s tell each other who we are now. Let’s share how much we have reinvented ourselves in the short time we have known each other.

I have done so much soul searching since I have known you. I have thought a lot about my actions and attitudes and goals. You have helped me set most of those goals I have. You have helped me change my attitudes toward people or situations. You have helped me see the flaws in some of my actions and the beauty in others.

We have gone through a really really rough patch in our friendship that I am afraid we will not be able to fix. The hole that we have created is just too big to patch up. It’s going to take a lot more than I can afford to fix that hole. I can’t afford to try to fix something as big as this with such a high risk of losing you. I can’t do it. So let's start fresh. Let’s build a new and sturdier foundation for us to grow on.

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.
