An Open Letter To My Aunt, Who Was Gone Too Soon
Sophia Mayfield

To my aunt who left this world too soon,

I miss you so much. It feels like it's been a lifetime since I've gotten to hear your laugh. I remember how contagious it was and how it could light up any room. I miss hearing all of your crazy and unbelievable stories. You, hands down, were the greatest story teller I've ever known. You gave my sisters and I the greatest birthday parties ever. From your crazy glasses you brought for us to the way you could do such amazing things with a computer, you always made me smile. You always knew the latest celeb gossip and most of the time you knew who was going to win the Bachelor / Bachelorette months before it actually came out. Let's not forget the Christmases at grandma's, when you made all of the kids laugh by saying the juice box phrase. Only we would know what that means.You always knew how to make a fun time for us kids. Not to mention you set up my first e-mail for me. Anytime I see something pink, sparkly and bedazzled I think of you because that was what you lived for. You never failed to amuse me and I always looked forward to getting to see you.

I remember when I heard the news about you passing. I could not believe it. There was no way. It was one of the worst days of my life. I just kept thinking that life isn't going to be the same with out you. Family parties would never be the same, not hearing your laugh.

I think about you everyday. I get sad because I just wish I had you now to talk about so many things, since I'm a teenager now. I have so many things I want to talk to you about. I want you to see my Poms performances and I want to talk about all the crazy things that we used to talk about. Trust me, I know you're there watching out for me. That has definitely helped me through all of this. I know that wherever you go after death, whether it's Heaven or somewhere else, you are more than happy and making people laugh.

You taught me how to be myself always and to not care what others think. You taught me how to have fun with life and push through the hard times.

I will never forget you. I love and miss you so much.

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.
