Best Friend, I Miss You

Going away to college or moving can be hard. Especially if that puts more miles between you and your best friend.

Best Friend, I Miss You.

I know we just saw each other at Christmas break, but I so wish you could be at my side, conquering the world together, like we were in high school. I mean, we didn’t win the 'Best Friends' award for nothing.

But I know you’re doing great things over there and I believe in you, even when you don’t. But, you should, because you’re awesome and one of the best people I know.

“Good friends are like stars. You don’t always see them, but you know they’re always there.” There isn’t a truer statement to describe our relationship. I love that we can go days without talking, but send a picture, a .gif, a meme, anything, and we pick right back up from where we were. You understand me like no one else does. We never have those awkward endings, where it’s like we want to go do something else, but still want to be nice, so the conversation drags on. We can literally just be like “okay, we’ll talk later, gotta go sleep, to class, play a board game, watch t.v.,” etc. We just get each other. And we don’t feel pressured to respond after said activity is done. It’s natural. But we both know we’re only a call away.

I’ll never forget the first day I saw you and your family, tie die and all. I’m so blessed that you moved and that you came into my life.

We have so many memories, ones I’m sure I’ll forget someday. I should probably start writing them down, but I’m sure you’ll remind me of them later.

I love the fact that we can send a song to each other and no message is needed. The underlying message is: “Listen to this NOW. You’ll love it.”

One of my favorite qualities about you is your ability to listen. I probably take advantage of it too much. But I love how you listen, no matter how fast I talk, and you always support me, wholeheartedly. Don’t get me wrong, you’ll tell me if I’m being dumb, but you always have my back. You don’t know half the people I tell you about, but you never act disinterested, and you understand that sometimes, I just need someone to tell me I’m right, that what I’m doing is okay.

I love how you support any and all of my past and present dreams. Opening my own bakery, being an event planner, doing service. I always joke you’ll be the one to support me. So… start saving up! Just kidding! (kind of)

I love the fact that you’re never mad or jealous, either. Going to a small school means creating lasting and important relationships along the way. I can’t say the same for me. I literally get jealous at the mention of someone’s name other than your family. I’ll work on it, though. But I know that if people saw half the kind-hearted, ambitious, smart, hilarious and beautiful person I see you to be, that you’ll be famous; people fighting for a piece of your time, your heart, and your humor.

Best Friend, I miss you.

But I know we’ll see each other soon.

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.
