An Open Letter To My Friends Who I Don't See Enough
The Odyssey

Dear Friend Who I Hardly See,

You should know that I want to see you more often. I hope that all this time that we go through not seeing each other is as hard for me as it is for you. I hope that the fact that our schedules are so hectic does not lead you to believe that I have forgotten about you.

I know we do not hang out as much as we used to. I wish that I had more time in the day to see everyone that I want to see, but we all know that is not how this works. There is never enough time to do the things that we want to do. I hope that you can understand where I am coming from.

I hope that when you see me hanging out with other people, it does not lead you to believe that I have chosen them over you.That is not the case at all. I am always thinking about our good times, our conversations, our laughs, but sometimes I just share those moments with someone else.

I know that sometimes we are just too busy to get around to seeing each other. I know that the text messages, phone calls, and random dates on Facetime are not nearly enough to make you understand how thankful I am for you. It may seem like I have forgotten, but I promise I have not.

I know I am not great at keeping up with you all the time. That is not your fault, sometimes I just get too busy, or don't want to bug you, or just don't mess with my phone at all. Those are not excuses, but I promise I am trying to work on that.

I hope that you know that you mean the world to me. I know that it does not seem that way all the time, but I can assure you that it is true. I cherish the memories that I have with you. I think about all the great times that we have had together no matter what we were doing. I giggle at the funny moments that replay in my head when I am in certain situations. I see pictures of us, and I smile.

Thanks for all the good times we've had, an for the adventures to come.

Love Always,

Your Distant 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.
