A Farewell Letter To A Dead Landmark

You will be missed.

A Farewell Letter To A Dead Landmark
Google Maps

A couple of days ago, levittownnow.com announced the end to a local landmark dear to the surrounding resident's hearts. This house is next to the local Wawa and has been known by many as the never-ending yard. It housed an array of objects from various children's toys to larger objects such as a boat. It was a local landmark meaning that everyone who lived nearby knows exactly what you are talking about when you mention the yard sale house. Several days ago, most of the yard sale objects were cleaned up and are still being cleaned up. It seems like the days of that house's legacy is over. I happen to live near this house. I felt it would be best that I wrote a farewell letter to house's yard in an attempt to me any needed closure.


To the seemingly never-ending yard sale,

It seems your time has finally come. I can honestly say I will miss you immensely.

For years I would take walks and would see you. When I was younger and bored, I would come up with various stories as to how the yard became the way it did.

You helped out so many people when they were giving directions, both tourists and residents. Without you, take out drivers, repairmen, and ups drivers would not know how to get places. Although I cannot give directions to people by saying "the house with the junk or yard sale," I can still say "the place that used to be the yard sale house."

And although there are no things left for sale, you will not be forgotten.

Sincerely,

The girl that saw you everyday

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.
