My Best Friend Is Not Just My Role Model But The Person Who Makes My College Experience So Much Better

Misbah Chhotani

With midterms happening and dodging through obstacles of life, I have found myself sitting on the edge of my bed actually sobbing. I am the kind of person who, when I'm sad, leans on people whom I consider friends. A person I find myself leaning on the most is someone I consider my best friend and my sister. Here are all the reasons why I love her so much!

1. She is honest

Honestly, the reasons I am always stressed to the point of tears is because I overcommit on literally every aspect of my life. Gabby knows how to keep it real and tell me when I need to come back to reality.

2. She is loyal

Gabby is a 2018 alumni of Elon University, and she's off to bigger and better things (aka law school). However, she still makes it a priority to check-in on me on a daily basis, and in return, I always ask about her day. When she visits my campus, she makes it a point to text me and meet up with me during her visits. I don't think we have gone a day without talking with each other since May.

3. She is trustworthy

Our friendship has gotten to the point where I am able to share personal info with her and know that she won't tell anyone without my permission.

4. She is supportive of me through my good times and my bad times.

The transition to college is tough on everyone, and things happen throughout your time. Last winter, one of my friends took his own life, and one of my friends transferred because of her own medical needs. These events were really traumatic for me. Gabby was able to be there for me to sort through my emotions during this difficult season. Gabby is also the person that I tell ALL of my good news as well!

5. She is fun to be around

Gabby never fails to put a smile on my face or give me a much needed laugh any and every time we're together.

6. She loves Ed Sheeran as much as I do

This is definitely not a requirement in order to be my friend, but this is a plus. And it makes for entertaining car rides!

7. She is a friend matchmaker

Gabby matches me with people in my life that end up being my forever friends.

8. She set the standard high which motivates me academically and socially.

Gabby is the QUEEN of involvement literally wherever she goes. She is very academically driven. I want to be just like her when I grow up.

9. She made me a nickname

Gabby set the standard for all of my current friends just calling me Mis. This is the first time I've ever had a nickname, and I absolutely love it.

Moral of the story is, everyone needs to find a forever friend like Gabby. Trust me, your life will be 100% better, guaranteed.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
