I Miss You

I Miss You
Fulton County Fairgrounds 2015

It's been nearly 365 days since I last had a conversation with you. I miss you every day. This is a letter to a man who started it all for my family, and it's a special thank you for all that he did. His love and passion for farming will continue for generations.

Grandpa,

It's nearly been a year since I last saw you. It seems like much longer. The family farm is still doing well thanks to my brother Nate and my dad. They provide so well for my family due to all of their hard work. They have always had a passion for farming, and you're the one to thank for that.

I still remember all of the times riding in the tractors with you on the farm, those were some precious memories. Every time I go up to Michigan to the farm, I think of you and Grandma so much. You were such a brave man going into WWII as a medic, and I look up to you so much for that. There's no words to describe how honored I am to be your grand-daughter.

Thank you for making the Betz family what it is today, because the love you had for Grandma was so special.

I'm sure you and Grandma are having a wonderful time up there, but just always remember that we miss you both so dearly.

I'll see you when I see you, but until then, watch over all of us Betz's here.

I love you so much.



Sincerely,

Your grand-daughter

Erin

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.
