Hey you! You know I love you, right? I hope you know that I just want what is best for you. I want you to be happy. I want you to live your best life, and to be your best self. I love you no matter what, but I know that you can be so much better than the person you have allowed yourself to become. You have allowed a guy, whom you have known for four months, to completely destroy you as a person. I know you are stubborn and I know that you love him. But like I have been telling you every single day, you need to let go.

I have watched you fall in love over and over again, and I know how easily you get attached. I knew this guy was different the moment everything started happening. You started doing things that were so out of character for you, and I was scared to say the least. You made mistake after mistake, and I felt like I needed to babysit you or teach you right from wrong, to be quite honest. Eventually, one thing after another kept happening. Things weren't adding up with this guy, and I knew something was off about him. Every time you talked, I could see you getting more and more upset about the relationship. Every time something happened between you two, you would come to me for advice. I was always happy to help you, but you've always been too stubborn to accept help, no matter how much you needed it.

I know how hard it is to let go of someone you love, especially after going through so much with them. I know what it is like to think you have a soulmate, only for it to turn out that he does not feel the same way about you. I know how it feels to compromise your morals for someone you love, just to have it be for nothing. I know what it is like to feel alone, and for it to seem like you have no one to talk to. I know how important it is to feel loved sometimes, so I understand why you craved his attention so much. I know how much this situation sucked for you, both longing for love and needing someone to vent to about this relationship.

Please understand that I am not saying this to be rude, or to discourage your relationship. I want you to be happy. This guy is not your happiness. You cannot base your future around him and what he wants, especially after he hurt you. You are worth so much more than someone who does not give you his best self. You are worth so much more than someone who makes you miserable, and makes you feel like crap. I promise that one day you will find your Prince Charming. You will get your fairy tale ending with a gorgeous wedding and beautiful children. Be patient — there is someone out there for you. But I need you to let go of the person who does not love you.

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.
