A Special Letter to My Internet Best Friend

To My Best Friend,


I started off social media thinking it was going to get me closer to meeting One Direction or Justin Bieber. Boy was I wrong. But, with me creating social media accounts, never did I think I would meet my best friends.

First of all, thank you. Thank you for coming into my life and changing it for the better. I never thought I would meet my best friends through the internet. You're there for me when no one else is and listens to me when I have stupid shit to rant about. There are nearly 8 billion people in the world and meeting you was fate, in my opinion. I've always heard that the internet is full of toxic people, but you? Not even in the slightest. You are the most kind-hearted, caring person I know. Meeting you was an accident, coming together over a similar interest was something I never even knew was possible to happen.

I got the frequent, "What if they're not real?" "They could be fake", but I knew you were real. I'm glad I pushed all those negative comments out of my head and focused on the positives. From inside jokes, to hours of video chatting, I don't think I would trade anything.

My favorite memory was finally meeting you in person. If we're being honest, I was nervous as hell and thought you were going to think I was an annoying person and would just want me to hop on a plane back home. But, seeing you in person and being able to finally hug you was something that I will never take for granted. I don't think people truly understand the means behind an internet friendship if they haven't experienced one themselves. We would talk about meeting in person and when it finally happened, it literally was a dream come true.

I am forever grateful to have you in my life. I don't think I can imagine a life without you in it, you seriously have helped me grow into a better person, been there through some tough times, and I cannot thank you enough for caring about me and being there for me when I need someone the most. I know our friendship is something that'll last a lifetime, and I hope it does, because I seriously cannot picture a life without you in it.

Keep doing you. Keep shining. Keep being your beautiful self. You are perfect just the way you are.

Sincerely,

Your 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.
