An Open Letter to Everyone That Has Walked Out of my Life
Chrome Geek

Hello There,


Long time, no talk. It's been awhile since we last spoke. It may surprise you but I wonder everyday what life would be like if you were still in my life.I often think about where was it that we; or myself, went wrong. Maybe there was something else I could've said or done to make you want to stay in my life. I have often thought about what I would say to you if our paths ever crossed again. I have carefully formulated the words and feelings I would express to you once this encounter occurred. At the end of the day I honestly don't know what I would say to you. It seems as though all of the words I have planned to say to you just are not enough to express how I've felt since you walked out. Out of all of the things I could say there is only one thing on my mind that I have an urgency to express to you.


Thank you.


Not what you expected, right?

But seriously, thank you. Thank you for leaving because without the hardships of trying to replace the void you left, you have made me a much stronger person and for that I am better. I have realized that your place in my life never would have lasted, and for many that place never should have been left open for you in the first place. You have taught me the importance of establishing a guard and maintaining that guard and to not just let it down for anyone. I have learned that trust does not come easy and to be weary of newcomers in my life. I used to question everyday "why" we parted ways but I no longer do. I am since thankful for your departure because it has made me so much better and so much stronger.

I use to wonder what life is like for you now; I no longer do. You no longer cross my mind and I no longer worry about what went wrong because all though our relationships went wrong, it went right for me. So thank you. Thank you for teaching me all of the life lessons I needed in order to survive in a world where you do not know anyone's true intentions. Thank you for walking away and leaving me to pick up the pieces in order to rebuild myself and restrengthen myself.

I wish you well and I wish you luck and I wish you are fortunate enough to learn all of the lessons I've learned since you left.

Sincerely,

A Stronger, Better Person.

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.
