Yes, Breakups Suck, But Best Friend Breakups Hurt SO More
Mitch Paige

Have you ever had a group of friends that you look at and you think, they're going to make it, they are going to be the ones who are bridesmaids in each other's weddings and the crazy aunties to each-others kids.

Well, that was my friend group…

Yes, breakups with a significant other suck, but have you ever gone through a breakup with your best friends? If so, then you know that shit hurts more than losing an s/o, because you are losing the person or the people that some of your favorite memories are with. I know people grow up and schedules change, life gets busy. I know this, but this doesn't feel like growing apart. It feels as painful as a breakup.

Some don't get a text back and some won't talk to you, period… It hurts.

I recently found myself in the car driving on the highway and breaking down in hysterics crying because "True Friend" by Hannah Montana started playing and that is one song we would belt out to no end.

(Yes, we would jam out to Hannah Montana because she was the idol of our childhood - you're not cool if you don't think her music is a bop.)

It hit me with that, I feel as if I have actually lost my best friends. No longer do I have the girls I could call or go down the hall and go for a midnight drive to get milkshakes with, no longer do I have the girls who would go on last-minute adventures with… But what hurts the most is when you want to tell them the news about your promotion or the new and exciting project you got asked to work on, or when it's just been a hell of a day and you just want to go out and get drinks with your girls and you can't because you know you won't get a response in the group chat…

You try your hardest not to give up but there is only so much you can do without giving up. You can reach out and check in with them as much as you want, but after a while, there comes a point where you just need to give up… It hurts.

All I can say is that, no matter what, I will love you ladies like sisters always. I hope you all get everything you ever wanted in life and even though we don't talk anymore I hope you all know I will always be here for 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.
