Our Friendship Has Grown Just Like We Have Since We've Been Best Friends Forever Since Kindergarten
Madison Ostrach

"Let's be best friends forever," is what I imagine one of us said when we were five in our kindergarten classroom.

15 years. Playdates turn to hangouts. Petty fights turn into deep conversations. We are lucky to be side by side from immaturity to maturity. Even though we don't talk every day and don't always have the time to hang out, when we do, it feels like we never were apart.

We still know each other's secrets like we are back in second grade, and people would always want to know what we were talking about.

Only with you do I get to say "Remember when..." talking about our childhood. We are so fortunate to be able to have a connection that goes all the way back. From the rejection from "our crushes" in elementary school to our first heartbreaks, we have been through everything. If I never need a person who understands me, I will turn to you.

I will never forget when either of us would have a "new friend" and the other got super jealous — this made our bond grow stronger. Those people would never be able to tear us apart.

I can't wait until we are celebrating our 50th friendship-anniversary. I mean I can wait because I don't want to rush my life, but you know what I mean.

I remember we would compete in everything, even height. Now, I have no clue how would we compete in that because we can't do anything about our height, but we were just really weird and still are. Scary how we used to be so small but had the chance to see each other grow up and continue growing.

My BFFSK and I are "One And The Same" (Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato).

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.
