25 Thank Yous to My First College Friend

They say that lifelong friends are the ones you meet at this point in your life; however, it can be tough meeting new people in a setting where you can only recognize a few familiar faces. This new beginning would not have been as exciting if you hadn't been there for the bumps and bruises along the way. College life is definitely not a simple adjustment, but you made it a little bit easier. So naturally, I thought a thank you letter was necessary.

1. Thank you for pretending to like me at first, even though we barely knew each other

2. Thank you for accepting my weirdness once you truly got to know me

3. Thank you for sitting in the cafeteria with me so I didn't have to eat alone, even if you weren't hungry

4. Thank you for expanding my horizon by introducing me to your friends

5. Thank you for letting me climb up to the top bunk to cuddle, no matter the time of day

6. Thank you for being honest when my hair looked terrible

7. Thank you for listening to my detailed weekend stories each and every Sunday morning

8. Thank you for always being straight up with me, no matter the circumstance

9. Thank you for being the Troy to my Gabriella, and the London to my Maddie

10. Thank you for not judging me when I make use of my poor decision-making skills

11. Thank you for only being as far as a FaceTime call away

12. Thank you for keeping my secrets and trusting me with yours

13. Thank you for remaining to be one of my closest friends even though we ventured out and found different friend groups

14. Thank you for keeping me in the loop and sending me screenshots every time your crush texts you

15. Thank you for acting as if you were my mom whenever I was sick, which happened quite frequently to be honest

16. Thank you for being the most significant of my others

17. Thank you for being a sister to me, even though we joined different sororities

18. Thank you for always having my back, and for laughing right now because you know exactly which situation I'm referring to

19. Thank you for supporting the boy that all of my other friends despised

20. Thank you for letting your closet become my second closet

21. Thank you for taking endless ugly snapchats with me

22. Thank you for being a shoulder to cry on

23. Thank you for dancing around the room with me in heels at 2 a.m.

24. Thank you for teaching me the importance of maintaining a real friendship

And most importantly:

25. Thank you for being the best partner-in-crime that I could have ever asked for to embark on this journey called college with me

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.
