5 People You'll Miss From Your First Year Of College
Jennifer Graft

Your first year of college is a life-changing experience. You will try new things, and push your boundaries. Even if the only new thing you try is living away from home, there will still be plenty of new things to experience. Along with this, you will also meet new people and hopefully make at least a few close friends. The difficult part comes when you are done with classes for the year, everyone moves out, and you realize that one of your new best friends lives three hours away, and two others are working at summer camp. It will be weird not being able to walk across the hall to harass them. So, from personal experience, here are the five friends you will miss during the summer after freshman year.

1. The one who is no longer your roommate.

Whether this was a random roommate assignment or not, even if you didn’t get along with your roommate you will still probably miss living with them in some way. I mean, you did inhabit the same tiny cell for, like, nine months. It will be weird not seeing their face every morning.

2. The goofy friend.

This friend is the one who always makes stupid jokes, acts clownish, but is also as sweet as can be. It is likely you will miss their joking nature, their laugh, and being able to play a hilarious game of Cards Against Humanity with them.

3. The one you had ALL of the classes with.

You may not be best friends or anything, but you sure have spent a lot of time in class and studying together. Whether it’s because you’re on the same career path or not, you have gotten to know this person fairly well. What will you do without them?

4. The one who really ~gets you.~

In college, you might be lucky enough to find a friend who you can really talk to about anything, and like 80% of the time they will say “SAME.” It’s crazy, actually- you were in the same high school sport, struggle with some of the same issues, and enjoy the same beverages. Your majors might be entirely different, but you really understand one another.

5. The best friend.

This is the friend you can rant back and forth with, and they will never judge you. You might not have gone through the same things, but you can always be truly honest with each other. There is nothing you can’t go to them for, and no matter how gross the guy they made out with is- you are always supportive of one another. They also probably give the best hugs.

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.
