An Open Letter to the Friends Who Picked Me Up

Thank you for wiping my tears away

An Open Letter to the Friends Who Picked Me Up
Alyssia Vieyra

It was you..Those nights when I kept staring at my phone, waiting for a text from the one person who stole my heart but didn't care for it. Or when I would be crying my eyes out, hidden under my covers wanting to disappear from the world. It was you who was always there to lift my head up and tell me that everything was going to be okay. It's like you knew me better than I knew my own self. You were the mirror I looked into and found the truths about myself. You were the one who gave me the harsh truths in the gentlest of ways.

Over and over you would watch me make the same mistakes, and still you never left my side. Every single time, you would have to shake me while screaming at me my worth. It's like you had to walk around with a stash of tissues and your hand ready to slap me back into reality when needed. Sometimes I even saw you wipe a tear drop from your own cheek from feeling my pain. Those are the times that I will never forget; We couldn't be any closer then in that moment.

You are the only person who I get in a fight with and it can't ever last longer then fifteen minutes. My heart just can't hold in hate for you longer then that. I mean who else am I going to have crazy dance parties or rap battles with in the car. Or take midnight trips to buy out all of McDonald's cookies and point out every plane we see flying above us because of an insider we have with each other. You are my soulmate of a friend that can never be replaced.

You have been there when I was at my highest moment in life and the lowest. The only thing that changed was how tight you hugged me because with each time they got tighter and tighter. You hold a place in my heart because of how special our friendship is to me. Every moment spent together helped mold me into the person I am, even in our most craziest of times.

Saying thank you is not enough for all you have done for me. You are more than a friend to me, you are now who I consider family. You are my soul sister, my double mint twin, the peanut butter to my jelly, the Robin to my Batman, and the Ying to my Yang. You know how all of those quirky sayings go, well you are all of those in one. I can't think of anybody else who could make my heartbreaks bearable and my single lady phase the most enjoyable ever.

So this one is for you best friend. Cheers to many more years of unforgettable memories.

xoxo

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.
