Now here we are. As many times as we said "I feel like it'll never come" or "it can't come soon enough" now, I'm begging you to stay. Now I'm begging you to find and or accept a job in this town that you've called home for the last four years. I am begging you to at least stay over the summer. I'm begging you to stay over my house every night because I don't want to lose hours with you.

But my begging is selfish and in reality, I couldn't be more proud of you. In fact, not only do I envy you but you've become someone I look up too. It's been hard watching you do all the senior stuff this spring. From taking your graduation pictures to going with you to pick up cords, and now, I have to watch you walk across that stage. I can promise you the tears that come will be a mixture of happy and sad. Proud tears because you earned this. You worked hard for this. Happy tears, well because when you're happy I'm happy and I know this was your dream, your goal.

Sad tears because now there's only a maximum of 72 hours before the real world rips you from my hands. But what it can't rip you from is my heart. My heart is so full for you. My heart has tons to say to you but even more to wish for you.

1. Never forget what you deserve. 

  • As you go into the world, know that you deserve the world and don't settle for anything less.

2. Life becomes all that you want it too. 

They say "life's what you make it." I hope yours becomes everything you want and make it to be. I hope you make it just as good as you have made mine.

3. Your dreams stay big. 

You deserve that dream house. You deserve that dream car. You deserve that dream career. You deserve that dream love. But as much as you deserve all those things, keep dreaming and keep dreaming.

4. Your worries stay small

I hope you never have to carry more than you can hold. Your worries stay about your successes.

5. When a door closes, you walk and find a window. 

I've watched as you have never given up. For example, here you are graduating. It hasn't been easy for you. Lots of doors shut in your face. But you always found a window to crawl through. You learned to use each challenge as an opportunity to overcome the problem, despite adversity.

6.  You stay true to yourself because I love that person. Be you.

You gave "original" a new definition for me. You taught me that it was okay to be myself as I watched you be unapologetically yourself.

7. You change the world

The world needs you more than I do. The great person you are, the heart you have, the world desperately needs you. So go, go change the world.

8. Cherish every moment

Even if you're running someone coffee. Know that is where you are supposed to be. Do it with a grateful heart & watch it bring you to many new starts.

9. Follow your heart 

The heart you have some people would die for. You can't teach people to love like you do. You can't teach people to have compassion like you do.

10. Know somebody loves you & wants the best for you. 

When you feel unloved, alone, drained, exhausted, know there's someone out there rooting for you. Loving you from 1,000 miles away. Ready to watch you chase and accomplish everything you want in life. That person is me. I 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.
