Dear Best Friend, I Know Times Are Hard

To be honest, we’re both a mess

Dear Best Friend, I Know Times Are Hard
H&L Productions

Seeing you without your smiling face is hard on me. I know when you're falling and it kills me inside. You try and hide your pain but you’re not hard to read. You’re my best friend and it hurts me when you won’t let me in. I know you like to be independant but, trust me, you can’t do this alone.

I want you to know that I'm always here for you. Even when you don't think I'm listening, I always am. I want what's best for you and although I'm not always perfect, I know what to say in your distress. I want you to be happy again. The world is harsh and it hits us all pretty hard everyday but I want you to know that you've always got a best friend by your side no matter what. (She's a pretty great one too if I do say so myself)

I've always hated when you tried to be so strong and keep it all to yourself and I'm kind of a hypocrite because I attempt to do the same. To be honest, we’re both a mess. I want you to know that it’s okay to feel. It’s okay to reach out and say you need help. It’s okay to be a mess.

I know you want to be strong but you’ve already proved yourself to be strong. No one likes to show their tears but it is not a sign of weakness. Life can hit us all pretty hard but it’s okay to fall sometimes. I’m not going to be basic and say "you must fall before you can fly.” No, I want you to know that when you fall, I will be there to pick up the pieces. If you don’t think you can do it anymore, then I will sit with you in the darkness. One day this pain will be invisible and that smile will no longer be fake, one day you will let out a smile and I will see that spark in your eyes. One day things will turn around.

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.
