A Letter To My Camp Best Friends

When I was diagnosed, I thought my life was over. I had no idea what my life was going to look like going forward. I was terrified, confused, and felt helpless. The day I met you guys I knew that this new lifestyle might not be so bad after all.

My first year at camp I hadn't met any of you. I had some people to talk to, but I knew that they weren't my people. My second year a majority of them didn't come back, leaving me to find new people to talk to.

I met the five of you and I am beyond grateful I did. I found people who always understand what I'm dealing with. When I have an off day with my blood sugars, I can always count on you to listen to me complain about it and get what I'm feeling. You make this disease not as bad as it could be.

Not only can I count on you when it comes to diabetes related issues, but I can also count on you with any other issues. You have been my best friends all throughout high school. You constantly have my back in any and every situation. You always tell me when I'm in the wrong and what I need to hear even when I don't want to hear it.

I appreciate all of you. Without you, my life would be dull and boring. Most of my best memories have you guys in them. I am beyond sad I won't get to spend a week with you this year and make more wonderful memories. That one week has been my favorite week for the past six years.

Thank you for sticking by my side and being my biggest supporters in all I do. You mean the world to me and I am grateful for everything you have done for me. I love you. Thank you for making my life better. I cannot wait to make more memories in the upcoming years.

Thank you for being my people.

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.
