A Letter To A Stranger

A letter for a man I never met.

A Letter To A Stranger
Shaun Bell

Do you love me? Well, obviously not because you never met me. Do I love you? Well, I don't know who you are yet, but I love the idea of you. I may be picky, but once I meet you, I know some of my fears I have held onto may slip away.

Hopefully, you are someone who lets me keep my morals and treats me with respect. You joke with me all the time, but I know deep down you want me to be happy. I want a normal secure life, and with you, I will have all the things both of us have dreamed of. The person I have been evolving into is to make you happy, even though I don't know you yet.

I am insecure, but once I meet you, I know you will help my insecurities fade away. I work hard to achieve great things for myself, but I will want you to be proud of me as I will be proud of you.

I am not an emotional person, but the only way I can get my more sappy thoughts out is through writing. I may not be the best at looking into a man's eyes and saying, "I love you", but if I smile when I am with you and go out of my way to help you, that means "I love you". I don't want someone to compliment me 24/7 or tell me sweet things all the time. I believe actions speak louder than words. I'll know it's love when I don't need to be with you but when I want to be with you.

I know someday I will meet you, but until then, I have my family and friends to continue to impress daily. I am so picky because I know you are out there and I am willing to wait for whoever you are.

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.
