What My Best Friend Means To Me

Best friend is defined as a person’s closest friend. What a simple meaning. But that meaning is so vague. What does that actually mean? Each person can define best friend in their own way, and that is the beauty about it.

My best friend and I have known each other for 8 years, since we were freshman in high school. We met at high school bowling tryouts. We grew to be best friends by that next year. We were inseparable, we did absolutely everything together. She knew everything about me and vice versa. But, as most high schoolers do, we had a falling out senior year. We didn’t talk anymore, we no longer called each other to hang out, and we just flat out didn’t like one another. We had grown apart. Plain and simple. Throughout the years, we all change best friends. Friends come and go, and that is a part of life. But that doesn’t make the friendship break up any easier.

Later on, after high school, we had reconnected around her 19th birthday. And just a few weeks after that we had found out that we were both going to attend the same university in the fall as well as we were both on the bowling team. So we were going to be spending quite a bit of time together. Who would have thought that are paths would cross again just exactly how we had met the first time around. We picked up right where we left off. We grew closer than ever before.

My very last year of college I decided to live on campus. I did not live on campus the first 3 years that I had gone to school just to save money. But, I decided for the last year of my undergrad degree that I wanted the actual college experience. The best part about the whole experience was that I got to live with my best friend. We were sharing a suite together and it meant that I got to see her even more. What could be better than that? Late night talks, picking out outfits together, constantly having person you trust most to talk to.

Having a best friend that I went through both good times and bad times with makes our friendship that much more special to me. She truly is my best friend and I cannot thank her enough for being there for me. You have definitely made college one of the best experiences of my life and I will never forget the memories we have had throughout the years, especially being roomies. I couldn’t imagine having a better person to share all these college experiences with.

From high school to college to whatever else the future holds for us after this final year. Thank you for being my 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.
