I hope you never forget our dance parties or 2 a.m. talks.

To My Best Friends As We Leave For College

Well, this is it. In less than 30 days we will be throwing our caps up in the air and saying goodbye to high school. Four years and countless memories later we are almost to the day we have dreamed and talked about for so long. College, it seemed so far away once upon a time ago but I guess between the Friday night lights and senior chants and countless sleepovers time slipped away and here we are now.

To begin this I just want to say thank you, to each and every single one of you who have seen me cry or made me laugh so hard my stomach has hurt. I have never had the kind of friends that I have now before I met you guys. No matter how long we have been friends or what we have been through I couldn't be more thankful and blessed that I got the opportunity to meet every one of you.

So on that note, "To My Best Friends As We Leave For College" I hope you never forget our 2 am talks about life and what we want in the future because I know I won't. I hope when you hear an old throwback song you think of me and our dance parties and how whenever we drove around together I would always beg you guys to let me have the aux so I could play them.

I hope that life throws you all the blessings and opportunities that it possibly can and that you're fearless enough to take on every single one of them with a full heart and clear eyes. I hope you never settle for shitty boys like we all have done before in the past and that you change someone's life the way you guys have changed mine.

God forbid If life ever gets too busy for us and we grow apart from distance or such but if we do I hope you know that I will forever be a phone call away and or a plane ticket home. You guys are my soulmates and have seen me at my worst and still chose to love me unconditionally despite my flaws and before I met you guys I never had that support system of friends. So thank you, because you guys have shown me what true friendship is like and for years that's all I wanted; were people like you and you guys gave me an unforgettable year.

As excited as we all are for college, I can't help but dread the day we all have to hug goodbye to go and begin our new lives. Having no idea when we will see each other next, I hope you constantly update me on life and all the new people you are going to meet when you move away. I hope you always snapchat me "howwwwwww drunkkkk" you are at your first frat party (well let's be real here we all know it's not our first) but you get the point.

Most of all I hope you go and live the life you have always wanted and have talked about with me for so long, there's nothing holding us back now besides a summer and a car ride away from this new chapter in our life. Go and live it and be fearless and brave and spontaneous because you guys make me feel all those things when I'm around you and I know the kind of power you guys can have on someone if they are lucky enough to cross paths with you. You guys will forever be my soul sisters and as sad as I am to watch us all go our separate ways, I can't wait to see how you guys will change the world one day.

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.
