Friends Come From The Weirdest Places

Ever think about the time or place you've met some of your friends?

Friends Come From The Weirdest Places
PlayBuzz

I've learned that some of the best friends you carry through life come from the weirdest places. Like some of my best friends now I could swear that a couple of years ago I would have never even wanted to meet them.

Ever had a friend you met in kindergarten that you still know now? Have a friend you met last week and think that person will be your best friend?

Take, for example, my friend Jack. Jack and I met when he rushed to join the fraternity I'm apart of. We didn't like each other much at first, but after a month we literally know everything about each other. It's scary but if I wasn't apart of a Greek organization, I would have never met him.

Another example is my friend Christine. We went to the same high school for four years and didn't meet until college all because of Greek life. If I never joined I would have never even knew she attended the same school as me.

The point of this article is that I personally have learned many people don't make it. I'm not old, I'm still in college. However, as my life has gone on, I have left so many people I've known in the dust. Some honestly not on purpose. The only reason I don't talk to them is because we grew apart and went our separate ways.

I know that some of my friends now I won't talk to later on in my life, but I feel like maybe some will. It's a part of growing up. It sometimes needs to happen to get further in life and not be feeling held back. It makes me think about all of you out there. How many friends did you leave behind? How many people did you know that just didn't get to the level you did? Did you lose out on some of the best friendships anyone can ask for because you felt they weren't needed?

There's so many questions. This article isn't long, it's just something small I wanted to share about something I personally have come across.

I think if there is a lesson for all of this. It would be that no matter what friends you have, live in the moment and hang out with them. Become better friends and maybe you'll form an unbreakable chain. If you don't have many friends, go get more. Live life and get more friends because sometimes things are more fun when you have people by your side.

Friends truly do come from the weirdest of places.

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.
