Dear Childhood Bedroom,

I miss you. A lot. My college experience is not going to be the same without you. Believe me, the beds here are not near as comfortable as the one you provided. Also, the white walls here are killing me. I will miss being able to paint you whenever you needed a facelift and I loved redecorating you. I will miss the spacious closet you provided me with, as well as the roomy dresser. All my little mementos and memories are stashed within your small square footage. You were a part of me for so long, and believe me, I will never forget you.

I want to thank you for being there for me through every big change in my life. You witnessed a lot in my eighteen years. I want to thank you for providing me comfort, warmth, and refuge. You were somewhere to go when I was feeling down, or when I just wanted a break from a chaotic day. You were there in my happy times, and for all the sleepovers and giggles in my life. Your four walls hold my deepest secrets and fears. You watched me change from a child to an adult and you comforted me day in and day out. I am forever grateful to you for that.

You hosted the best fashion shows, concerts, and facial bars in the world. You saw a ton of fights that I had with my sister over clothes but you also got to see the two of us have some of our most memorable moments there too. You have really been my closest friend, it is kind of weird to not see you everyday. I cannot wait to see you again on breaks and in the summertime though!

I'll miss you so much. As sad as I am to have to let you go, I am also really excited to make some new memories in my new, small, white dorm room. It is time to let you go but I want you to know that you will forever be my favorite.

Love,

Me.

P.S.

If my little siblings try to haggle mom and dad to let them take you from me, don't let it happen.

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.
