Even Though She Ditched Me For The East Coast, My Best Friend Is Still My Best Friend
Leila Yasha

Dear Best Friend,

I can't thank you enough for everything you have done to shape me into the person I am today. You are the Ying to my Yang and the peanut butter to my jelly. You've taught me what it means to be selfless, caring and patient. From the moment we became friends, I had to start sharing and caring. Thank you for supporting me in my decisions. Thank you for wanting what's best for me. Thank YOU for introducing me to new things in preschool, like bubblegum and cartoons. I knew you'd always be there for me.

Recently, you moved across the country, and that's okay. It was the opportunity of a lifetime. I forgive you even though you left me after so many years of us being inseparable. When you are a doctor, it'll make this move worth it. You'll still come home in the winter months and for spring break. Maybe you'll even come home for summer (if you aren't stubborn). You will be the maid-of-honor at my wedding and the Fun Aunt (if I have children), so you'll just have to come back to the west coast eventually.

Just because you moved doesn't mean we're not best friends. This 10+ year friendship will stay strong. You are worth getting to know. You are passionate about your future. You will make new friends. You will be offered more opportunities that you cannot pass up. You will keep growing into a wonderful adult. You're one of a kind. You're a shoulder to lean on. You are still my best friend. I can't believe that you were once a stranger to me until our mothers made us be friends. We've come so far as friends that a life without you is one I don't want to imagine.

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.
