To My Graduating Best Friends

We don't want you to leave, but we're happy you're doing good things for your future.

To My Graduating Best Friends

"Sometimes, we're all too quick to count down the days that we forget to make the days count."

The biggest blessing that you can ever get is having someone in your life that can mentor you through either high school or college. This person is someone that teaches you basically how to act, but how to still have fun. They do not judge you for your decisions, but they help you out when you make bad ones. One of the saddest parts of high school and especially college is seeing your friends go so many different ways in life after they graduate. You want to tell them to stay, yet you're happy to see them to successful. So here's to you all graduating.

Always remember your goals.

When you leave, always remember why you went there in the first place. Change can be distracting, but you're working towards something that means so much to your future. Remember why you started and remember when it gets tough, which it will, it is going to be worth it.

Never forget to have fun.

Although you may be "older" and onto a new phase of life, that does not mean that you have to stop doing the things that make you happy. The adults who are children at heart always seem to have the most fun. Enjoy yourself. Do whatever you want because you only have one life and you don't want to spend it caring about what everyone else thinks.

Your new town will be rough but remember that's when you meet the most people.

Remember that going away and meeting new people will not be the same as being with the people who you are used to. You have to put yourself out there and meet new people and try new things to flourish in your community. Change is scary, but it's a good thing.

Know that your friends are going to miss you.

Going through these four years, you probably know the feeling of seeing your friends graduate and move away. It's sad knowing that you're not going to see them every single day like you used to. We're going to miss you a lot and be sure to come back and visit.

Enjoy the time that you have left.

You have such little time left to enjoy the stage of life that you are in right now, so live it up. Do not be one of those people who says "I can't wait to graduate" because no matter what you will miss it.

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.
