Thank you.

To The Friends I Made During My First Semester of College
Audrey DeLarco

I don't know what I would do without you.

Meeting new people, especially in an unfamiliar environment, can be pretty hard. Starting college not knowing anyone and having no support system there with you is one of the most difficult aspects of being a college freshman. Luckily, I met a few people who tolerate my mental breakdowns and my crazy outbursts early in the morning or at 4 am, and I'm lucky to call them some of my best friends.

You keep me sane, and I don't know how.

Thank you for somehow convincing me everything is going to be alright. Bad test grade? You'd comfort me by saying "don't worry, this is a learning experience and you will do better next time". Random crying? You'd find a way to make me laugh until my stomach hurt. Mental breakdown at 4:00 a.m. during finals week? You'd pull an all-nighter along side me and help studying be a little less terrible.

Thank you for always listening to me.

With all the whining and complaining that I probably do, you listen to every second of it and ALWAYS have real feedback for me. You're not just my friend, you're my therapist, my sister, and my partner in crime.

You're learning alongside me, and we're learning from each other.

I have learned so many new and incredible things from you. Being around you makes me a better and more intelligent person. You turn me into a better version of myself, and I couldn't be more thankful. We're both in a new and stressful place in our lives and I couldn't be more excited to go through it with you.

Thank you for becoming so important to me and helping me get though college. I couldn't do it without you.

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.

The best superpower ever? Being invisible of course. Imagine just being able to go from seen to unseen on a dime. Who wouldn't want to have the opportunity to be invisible?

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.
