An Open Letter To The Close Friends I've Made In College

Crazy to think we didn't know each other three years ago, because I couldn't imagine my life with out you.

An Open Letter To The Close Friends I've Made In College
Melissa Tullar

To the close friends I’ve made in college,

I had no idea what to expect when coming to college. They always said you meet your life long-friends in college but being the socially awkward soul that I am I did not expect the same. But, whether it was from living on the same floor, meeting at different social events, or having the same classes you have changed my life…

So I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for being there when I got homesick, when I got a terrible grade, or when I went balls to the wall on a Saturday night. My experiences and memories with you all are ones I will hold onto forever. Thanks for helping me grow into a better woman. Whether it was learning through your experiences or having you mentor me through my own I have grown into a better person. Thanks for helping me realize my self-worth and showing me through your own relationships how a woman should be treated and for always letting me third wheel and never making it awkward.

Thank you for little things. Whether it be staying up endless nights to study for a test or to write a 12-page paper in eight hours, even waking up before you had to be just to eat breakfast with me, I was never alone. Thank you for being seen in public with me and my un-brushed hair and baggy sweats. Thanks for holding my hair back when I throw up and driving me to Cookout late at night. These memories, inside jokes, and lessons are forever. Everything happens for a reason and I truly believe you all walked into my life for a reason. You have made college so much fun, you’ve been my sanity from the storm, and so much more. I love you all and can’t wait to see where life after college takes us. (Also can’t wait for Alumni weekends where we tear this place up)

Love your forever 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.
