3 months ago, you took me back.

You believed in us even after I left,

We loved without a care in the world.


3 years ago, I first saw you.

In your dark green shirt, crooked glasses, and curls,

Little did I know you’d become my world.


3 weeks ago, I still loved you.

I still believed that you would come back too,

Losing you took over my whole world.


Maybe time outplayed me,

Maybe it was all a test.

Maybe I’m crazy,

Or maybe we were the best.


You destroyed me:

Knocked me to the ground

And on my knees, I literally begged.


It is said:

Time heals all wounds

and I didn’t believe it

…but now I can see it


3 days ago, I missed you.

I thought back to that last time I kissed you,

how you said we’d still be friends.


You lied.


Today I see it all.

I was the one that saved me that fall…


There’s beauty in this life

And so much to learn.

For you, my heart no longer yearns.


I won’t apologize,

I won’t cry,

because it’s a good thing we said goodbye…

It was a blessing in disguise.


So, while you’re laying there

with her by your side,

I will be holding my head up with pride

going somewhere with my life.


For you I cried,

I tried

I died


Yet in the death of my old self,

A new one has come


I am stronger without you

I am happier without you

I am more confident too…

I know that always intimidated you


I am brand new

So, this is my final goodbye to 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.

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.
