An Apology Letter To My Dog

I'm sorry

An Apology Letter To My Dog
Haylee Smith

To my dog who will never understand the impact he has on my life and who will never know how much he means to me.

I'm sorry for not being able to watch you grow old everyday. As I'm starting off my life not being able to bring you with me is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.

I'm sorry for not giving you all the attention you deserve when I am home. Your loyalty to me will be everlasting but I will never fully be able to give you enough.

I'm sorry for all the times I could have played with you but chose to do other things instead. You were never a main priority of mine when I was growing up and I would give anything to show you again how much I love you.

I'm sorry for all the countless times I yelled at you or got mad at you. I shouldn't have been so hard on you when you tore up the couch or had an accident in the house.

I'm sorry for taking you for granted. You are the sweetest thing that has ever lived. You are the only thing that has never harmed me or caused me grief and I took that for granted when I was around you all the time. You understand me and that's something that very few people have.

I'm sorry that you will never truly be able to understand why I'm leaving you because you are a dog. You will never know how much I miss you or long to hear your annoying bark because I can't call and talk to you on the phone.

Mostly I'm sorry for leaving you behind. For not being able to bring you with me. You deserve so much more in a life than I could ever provide for you. I don't really know what it feels like to have a child but I've had you since you were a baby and so I guess leaving you is kind of like leaving a piece of me behind. You are so special to me. And I wish I could give you more.

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.
