If you would have asked me a few years ago if I thought things would be like this, the obvious answer would have been no. To go from seeing each other everyday, basically being in eachothers families to not even commenting on each others Instagram photos is a big adjustment. In life, I don't think we ever truly expect to not be friends with people until we aren't. We don't expect people we care about so deeply not to be there for us, until they aren't. But unfortunently, things happen. Situations change, and sometimes, so do people.

I sit here, on this day, the day of your wedding. It is hard not to look back at what used to be and remember all of the plans we had. Plans to be each others bridesmaids. All of the bachelorette party plans. We even went as far as to start planning our big days. Those goals and dreams are all just distant memories now.

It is hard to believe that I am not apart of this big day for you. It is hard to believe that you're starting the next, more exciting phase of your life without me, but that is where we are today. Of course, I wanted to be able to share in this day and I wanted you to eventually share in mine too. Things are different now and so are we. The things we once wanted, are no longer the things we want. The plans we once made are all plans that changed. And while it may hurt, its okay.

Even though we have gone our own ways, I want to wish you the best of luck in your new life. I hope this love is the one you have been looking for that we would stay up late at night talking about. I hope he will treat you the way you deserve and that you have all the happiness in the world. I am sending all my thoughts your way and praying for a successful adventurous time in your new life!

We may not be best friends, or even friends at all but I hold all of our memories close to me and I am excited to see what your future holds.

Sincerely,

Your Ex Best Friend

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.
