To The Girls That Keep Me Grounded
Michael Kelley

To say that I wouldn’t be the person I am today without you is a serious understatement. You have introduced me to so many amazing things that exist in this world. My taste in music, movies, and clothes have improved since meeting you. My view of the world, in general, has changed. You’re each so unique, and I’ve become more positive, empathetic, and open-minded now that I’ve made efforts to understand the way your minds work.

It’s crazy the way this friendship operates. You’ve expressed time and time again that you are thankful for the strength I provide in your own lives, but I wouldn’t be wouldn’t have that strength if it weren’t for you. Your continued support and guidance through my highs and my lows have allowed me to grow into the person you need. I know that none of us really have this “life” thing all figured out yet, but you make fumbling to make sense of everything less terrifying.

I have an insane amount of trust in you. I know that no matter what, you will always be honest with me. You’re the best listeners and even better sources for advice. Especially during those times when I don’t want to hear the truth, but you know I need to. I can trust your judgment because I know that you always have my best interest in mind.

I know what it means to be a good person because I have you as living examples. Your kindness, selflessness, and unconditional love continue to motivate me to be the best person I can be and to chase my wildest dreams. We’re not just friends, we’re family.

Thank you for everything you are for me.

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.
