An Open Letter To An Elementary School Crush
Logan Blount

Dear you (yeah, you)

It has been far too long since we have seen one another. I hope you are following your dreams, and working towards making a name for yourself just as I am. I still have the memories of us joking around and enjoying each other’s company, and I hope you still have them too.

I’ll admit that you were the person everyone told me I like, and I would deny it so fast. You were the person who everyone made fun of regarding liking one another, but neither of you (or just you) never owned up to your true feelings (mainly because you were too young in your parent’s eyes to have a significant other). I imagined life with you at such a young age, and hoped that you and I would be together within the next 10 years. The only thing that held us back was I did not want to ruin the relationship/friendship we already have with you. All I wanted from life with you was to allow us to get closer as the years went on.

Sometime I do not like to think that all hope is gone, and everything is lost. But sometimes you are farther away than I can even wrap my mind around. Seriously you were beyond important to me and I just want you to be aware of this

All of the hope you built up is completely shattered from caring so much about what could happen between you two in the future. Once you left it’s like the world becomes a much different place without your partner in crime. I have come to the realization that you could be happier without me (maybe, probably not) but mainly because I was not the only one you left behind. Some days I would do anything to stop you from leaving who we were because I know we could have fallen in love. After all this time we could have been an “it couple,” gone to prom together, and cheered on our favorite teams.

Maybe one day when our stars cross we end up crossing paths (I don’t know, we’ll see).

Sincerely, the one you did not let get away

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.
