To The Boy I Should Have Listened To

You may think all you have said to me never made a difference, but it did.

Dear the boy whom I should have listened to,

You were right. About everything. I am not happy where I am at in my current relationship. I go day by day being constantly unhappy about a multiple of things and continue to remember everything you said to me.

You saw that I was not happy with my relationship. You saw that he was not treating me in the best of ways. You saw more things at that time (and it is still continuing), than I did. I kept telling myself that everything was okay and that everything would continue to be okay and that I was not hurting, that it was just a way of life. And the biggest thing, that I was okay. You saw all of these things that i was not able to see myself. Thank you.

I am currently going day by day just tolerating everything until I am able to leave in the near future. I have thought about things for quite a while now and have came to the conclusion that the only way to be happy is to leave this place to get away from it. It is the only way I can end any of it.

Maybe things would have been better if I listened to you then, however I don't believe I was ready in my thought process or for the rest when you pointed everything out to me. But I do, believe it or not, go day by day regretting I could and would have done something different.

I guess the point of this letter is to thank you. I thank you for opening my eyes and realizing what was in front of me. Thank you for making me smile and laugh when I needed it the most. I will never forget what you have said to me because it truly has made a difference.

My one last thought for you. I now hope you are happy where you are at in your life. All I can do now is wish you the best as you have continued to do for me. Thank you again.

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.
