An Open Letter To The Friend That Dropped Me As If I Meant Nothing

You dropped me out of nowhere but I'm back and better than ever.

Dear friend that dropped me like I was nothing,

This one is for you. Towards the end of our friendship, you treated me like crap. You lied to me, you pretended like there was nothing wrong but I could see right through you.

At first I thought I was in the wrong because that's what we always assume, the worst of ourselves, it was something that we did wrong. Don't be fooled though, I looked deeper and realized that it wasn't my fault. It was you! You were in the wrong and I blamed myself for years on end. Honestly, our friendship breaking up was the worst. It was harder ending our relationship than anyone I've dated.

Once I started to look deeper into what happened, I realized something. You changed. You changed in a way that I could not keep up with. College had changed you, you were different and I didn't like it.

You were self-centered and you turned into a person that I didn't even want to be friends with anymore. Losing you as a friend was one of the hardest things I had to go through but it was kind of a blessing at the same time. We think the worst when something we know ends. At the same time though, bigger and better things can be on the horizon.

Now, I am the best version of me that I have been in a long time. I have friends that actually care about me and treat me the way I deserve to be treated. They let me talk and they let me be myself, which I was afraid to do with you.

I don't know if this person will ever see or even read this letter but if it's worth anything, I'm doing pretty damn well. What the hell are you up to?

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.
