An Open Letter To My Godmother
Hanna Hess

If many of you were as lucky as I was, you were given the blessing of having a godmother in your life.


To my godmother:

Thank you for every role you have fulfilled. You have been a mom, a friend, a confidant, an aunt, and a caregiver. You watched over me and protected me like I was your own. You opened your home to me at any point in time, even if it was a moments notice. You let me indulge in things I wasn't allowed to have unlimited amounts of at home. You even let me try soda for the first time!

You were a friend when I needed it most. You would go to movies with me, have me over and watch TV with me, go shopping with me, and so much more. You became a shoulder to cry on as I grew older and went through many life circumstances. You are someone I can always trust.

You know almost everything about me, as a mother would with their natural child. You can listen to someone so carefully and concerning.

We are family. We are not blood-related, but our bond is thicker. You have embraced me at my highs and lows, and for that I am eternally grateful. You are my mom's sister by bond, not blood. You are my family by love.

You always jumped right in when I needed to be taken care of or watched over. You have taken me on when I was sick, sad, happy, or mad. You know my favorite things, favorite shows, favorite hobbies, my likes and dislikes. You were always a phone call away when I needed something, and still are.

Thank you for helping my mom and dad raise me. So many memories are shared with you. You're loving, goofy, warm, open-hearted, and a softy. Thank you for being you, and for blessing me from the day I was born as my godmother. I only hope my future children have a godmother as cool as you.

Love,

Your (un)biological child

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.
