Do you remember?

Do you remember the first time we met? The first time we hung out?

Do you remember the first time we spent the night together?

Do you remember the first time we were actually alone together? The first time we were honest and open with each other?

Do you remember our first car ride together? The first movie we watched together?

Do you remember?

Because I do.

I remember the first time we met, the first time I saw you. I remember thinking that you were cute and that you were really funny. I remember thinking that you were someone that I certainly want to get to know a lot more.

I remember the first time we hung out, the time of year it was, how cold it was outside. I remember how we were up all night, us and all my friends, until the sun came up and we figured that it would be a good time to get some sleep because we were going to do it all again later that night.

I remember the first time we spent the night together, just you and me. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was one of the best nights I had ever had, and one of the best nights rest I have ever gotten. Thank you.

I remember the first time we were alone, completely alone, together. I remember how that night we were so open and honest with each other. We talked about everything you could think of that night; life, death, family, friends we had before we knew each other, past relationships and if they went/ended well. You name it, we probably talked about it. That night was beautiful. Thank you.

I remember the first movie we went and saw together. I remember throughout the whole movie you would lean over to me and tell me what you thought was going to happen next and how you thought the movie would end. I remember being annoyed and completely happy at the same time.

Do you remember the first time you were at my house? The first time you met my family? I remember.

I remember how impressed my father was by you and how my niece and nephew loved you from their first sight of you. I remember you being such a gentleman to all of my family and riding the waves when they would tease you about how you dressed or how you said certain things. My family takes no mercy on new people they are introduced to. That weekend was so refreshing for me and I needed it very much. You made it a beautiful weekend. Thank you.

I remember how you wouldn’t leave me on my birthday and how thankful I was for that. I remember how you let me cry on your shoulder when things would get rough.

I remember.

We have had a lot of firsts together. You mean a lot to me, kid, whether you like that thought or not. You will always have a special place in my heart forever and always. I know you didn't want me to get this attached, that was never the plan. But for a brief moment, you showed me what it was like to be taken by someone, to be in complete awe of how amazing that person is to you. You showed me what it was like to have someone's full attention when I was with them, to have someone to listen when I needed them to. How did you expect me to not get so attached?

As much as I hate to admit it sometimes you are on my mind an awful lot. I figured it would be a good idea to write all this down instead of keeping it in and hoping that I could find a time to say it to you. I made the time. The time is now.

How did we get to the place we are in today? How is it that we can never talk anymore? That we never see each other anymore? How can we walk by each other and act like we don’t know each other when just a short time ago, we spent almost every minute together getting to know every little thing we could about each other right down to the size shirt we wear. How?

You are a heavy subject on my mind, and I wonder all the time if I am for you as well.

So do you remember?Do you remember all the good times we had? Do you remember how close we were emotionally? Do you remember how much we meant to each other at one point in time in our short friendship?

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.
