1. Visits

Pro: When they visit it's like you guys were never even separated in the first place. You pick up right where you left off and it is an amazing feeling having your best friend back.

Con: You can't just go over to their house on a bad day or have them hug you in bad times. Sometimes them coming to visit or you going to visit can take months or even years.

2. Boyfriends/Girlfriends

Pro: They're happy and in love and you get to send cute wedding Pins to them. You get to have cute skype meetings with their SO and it's totally adorable!

Cons: They can sometimes get caught up and you don't hear from them as much.

3. Goodbyes

Pros: You know it's not the last and that you two will see each other again in time.

Cons: Your best friend has to go back home and you are gonna miss the late night talks and laughs.

4. Best Friends Back Home

Pros: They aren't completely lonely(or you aren't) and they're happy and making memories!

Cons: You feel forgotten and tossed to the side (even though they still love you 100%)

5. Jobs

Pros: They are making money so they'll be able to visit sooner!

Cons: Jobs take a lot of time from you guys (which is fine, life happens)

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.
