An Open Letter To My Best Friend

Because you've never left my side.

An Open Letter To My Best Friend
Kelsey Roschen

This may sound cheesy, but thank you for just being there. Even if we say it all the time or not at all, I wanted to say thank you for being my best friend and for never leaving my side. It takes a special person to not get annoyed or frustrated by my little ticks, but you;re still here.

Thank you for showing me that life doesn't always have to be planned out. That when I want things to go my way and I have everything planed out, that it's OK for something to go wrong. You let me know not to stress over the little things or the things I can't control.

Thank you for showing me that food can also be my best friend. No matter what we could be doing, if food is brought up, that's all we can think about from that moment on. You never judge me on what or how much I eat, but indulge just as much as me.

Thank you for showing me how to be brave. You have showed more times than not how to be someone who speaks their mind. Someone who isn't afraid to do the things they want or say the things they need to say. You showed me to stand up for myself, but even more importantly, that you would stand up for me when I couldn't.

Thank you for showing me that it's OK to have feelings. Whether the feelings are outrageous or understandable, you showed me that it's important to share them. You encouraged me to show how I felt and open myself up to being vulnerable. Even if my feelings were outrageous, you told me straight up.

Thank you for opening up your house to me. Your family brought me in as their own and I felt more part of the family than just a friend. Even if you aren't home, I'm comfortable enough to hang out there.

Thank you for sharing your life with me. We've spent hours and hours together, but nothing seems to compare to that time. Every time we're together, there never seems to be enough time to talk about all the latest gossip or recent news. Every minute that we've spent together has changed us in certain ways and that's something that we'll take with us forever.

Thank you for showing me that life is better with someone to share it with. Even if you're going for a late night food run, it's always better to have someone with you. Even if you're just spending a little time together, it'll always be more fun with you.

Thank you for being more than a best friend to me, but more like a sister. It's no wonder people get us confused or think were related. Even if we do argue like sisters sometimes and people think we're actually upset with each other, there couldn't be a better choice to be my best friend.

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.
