A Letter To My Best Friend In A Different State

Hi there,

I just wanted to tell you I miss you more than ever. I hope you are happy and are living your life. I hope you forgot about that boy who broke your heart that you were with when you lived the next town over from me. I hope you have new friends that make every day special. I hope they make you laugh on your bad days, and they wipe your tears on those days as well.

Saying goodbye to you was one of the hardest things I've had to do in a long time. I was saying goodbye to the girl that helped me through all my heartbreaks, bad grades, college rejections, and cheerleading practices. I knew that you leaving was going to be hard, but the thing that gets me through is the fact that I know I will see you again.

I miss seeing your face all the time, and showing up at your house for random visits. I miss jumping on the bed and listening to music we would scream at the top of our lungs. I miss the silly questions you would ask me when I just said the answer. I miss your family, and I miss them accepting me into your family like they were my own. I miss eating ice cream with you and talking about boys. I miss yelling at each other for absolutely no reason whatsoever. I miss the smile you would make when you knew you did an oopsie. Not being able to hug you on my bad days is the hardest part. I would give anything for you to be here right now, but we both know that can't happen. You have to live your life, and meet new people. It's a part of growing up. No matter how far away we are from each other, we will always find our way back to each other when something good or bad happens to one of us.

Thank you for all of the good times we had together. They will always hold a special place in my heart. There are so many little memories I hold on to make me smile when I miss you the most. Thank you for always being there to remind me you love me. Thank you for making me smile on my bad days, and supporting me through everything I've done. Thank you for listening to me ramble and thank you for also telling me to shut up.

The best part about this friendship is that we don't have to talk to each other every day but we always pick up where we left off. We FaceTime here and there, and text each other about our days... but we don't need to do it everyday to remind each other we love each other. The bond we have in this friendship is unbreakable, and nothing will ever change that. I know that if I ever lost you as my best friend, I would lose a part of myself. You have impacted my life in such an important way that I will never know how to thank you for all you've done. No matter what happens with us, I will always love you and be here for you. There are no words to describe how much I miss you. That's normal I suppose. I hope that you are loving life where you are, and I hope that the memories you're making now will have an impact on you like ours had an impact on me. I hope you never forget about me, and I hope you laugh when you look back on all we've done together. I hope you tell your new friends about me and I hope they can see why we're such good friends. I hope you still call me when you have a heartbreak, and I hope you still text me when you can't find beef jerky at the grocery store. I hope that you know no matter where you go in life, you will always have a friend by your side. I hope you have people in your life that remind you every time you see them how amazing you are. You are one of a kind, and no one will ever replace you.

Love,

Your friend who misses you today and every other day.

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.
