To The Friend We Lost Too Soon

Gone, but never forgotten.

To The Friend We Lost Too Soon
Caitlin McCafferty

Staring down at our phones reading the news that you are no longer with us was one of the most painful things anyone has ever felt. The feeling that we will never see your smile, hear your laugh, or hang out with you on the weekends is so overwhelming, it hurts our chests.

We think it cannot happen here, that it is just a misunderstanding, and you are going to jump out and say "got you!" with that goofy smile on your face. Unfortunately, that is not the case.

We want you to know you are forever with us. Even though we will not feel your arms around us in a hug or have you to goof around with, you are here.

You exist in our memories. We are all clinging to the good times we had with you, thinking about the last time we saw you or talked to you. Our favorite memories will forever keep you alive in our hearts.

You have to realize the impact you had on all of us. Your passing has brought all of us together, and although we really need you, we have each other to lean on for support and for help to try and figure out why you are gone.

The amount of people you touched in your time with us in incredible. So many people are hurt and in pain over losing you. We know you would want us to be strong, so we will try our best together.

Putting our feelings into words is hard to do. Describing our pain is nearly impossible. We are angry and hurt at the same time, and we cannot understand how to cope with all of it at once.

No one can understand why we had to lose someone who meant the world to us. You were the light in the dark to most of us, and we will forever be touched by you. You made our bad days good and our good days better than we could have ever imagined. We are sorry that we had to lose you, but we will never forget you.

Rest in Peace friend, we will see you soon.

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.
