An Open Letter To My Best Friend As She Graduates

Dear Best Friend,

Wow, I can't believe that today's the day you become a college graduate. It's finally here and I couldn't be more excited for you. From your very first final to your very last, it's been a long road. I can remember all of the late night phone calls and texts about how you were ready to be done and just didn't want to study anymore. Not to mention all of the times you said you wanted to drop out even though we both knew it was a joke but I still talked some sense into you from time to time. You made it through the many late nights and the hectic band schedule that I always heard about.

But hey, look, all that hard work paid off and you get to walk across the stage and get that diploma. I'm so glad that I get to witness that special moment. I know you're going to do amazing things and change the world. I know that just because you're graduating that it's not good bye forever. Hit up the group chat every so often and there's always FaceTime or ya know a good ol' fashioned phone call never hurt anyone. With that being said, I can't wait to see all the things you accomplish and all the things you do. I'll be right there with you no matter if it's something big or small. I'm gonna leave you with this quote from Walt Disney, "If you can dream it, you can do it."

Congrats Grad and I love you,

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.
