You've moved back home and as excited as you are to see your friends from high school, work, etc you start to miss your friends from college. The late night Waffle House and El Maz runs, the crazy conversations until 2 am, and the constant thought of having the other people to lean on. With these times running through your head, it is hard to not miss them a little bit. Here are four ways to help with the pain of missing your best friends.

1. Make Plans!


The biggest and best thing you can do is make some plans to see one another! Plan to spend the night or weekend with your friends, out doing fun stuff that will only create more memories and then spend some much needed alone time with them! Go to the zoo, catch a movie, and go back and sit in your pjs for hours and just talk.

2. Facetime.


Facetime is seriously one of the best inventions of the 21st century (excluding hoverboards, of course). There is nothing quite like going from faceless texting to actually seeing your best friend again! Of course it is still through a screen but it's better than nothing! For the friends who live forever and a day away from one another, facetime is a savior!

3. Include them in your lives, even from far away.


Even though they can't be here to be your shoulder to cry on, call that person and tell them about that rude guy at work, that cute boy who walked past you on the street or the latest gossip from your home town. They probably won't have the slightest idea who you're talking about but they'll love that you've thought to call and give them all the details.

4. Don't rush going back to college.


As exciting it may seem, the times at home with old friends and with your parents is just as memorable and irreplaceable as the fun times at college. Don't rush seeing your friends and forget to see your home. Have fun with friends, go see a movie with old girl friends and catch up, go out to eat lunch with your grandmother, have fun in the moment and don't rush the future. You won't regret it!

So while you're missing your best friend from an hour away or six hours away, these points will help you to cope with the distance. Call, text, Skype, Facetime as much as you can to pass the days but never forget to live in the moment and cherish each day!

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.
