A Letter To My Best Friend
Nadia Palma

College wont be easy for the either of us and I know that life itself is going to test us. I just want you to know that no matter where we choose to go in our lives, I'll always be by your side. This letter comes from the bottom of my heart and I just want to remind you how much I appreciate you and all your support. As we get closer and closer to achieving one of our biggest dreams together, I want you to know now that our friendship is unbreakable and that I value you so much as a person. Without you, I don't know how my life would've turned out. While this letter alone isn't enough to explain my adoration and appreciation for you, this is just a taste.

Dear Best Friend,

I can't forget those moments we laid across my living room floor talking about our lives, the majority of the things you say still linger in my mind. Remember when I fell out of love and didn't know how to let go? You were there to correct me throughout all my wrongdoings and you still had enough love in you to hold me close when I needed it the most. I don't know where life will take us, but I do know we've made it past difficult patches and rainy days. I want you to know that you're special to me. It's not about how easily you make me laugh or how quickly you make me smile. It's the way you listen to all I have to say without judgment. Trust me, I know I can be annoying at times and I like to believe the world is out to get me at times. But when was the last time you told me I needed to change? Never.

As we get older, there is no doubt we will change. The only things that don't change are memories and what we've said. The other day, I was watching a movie called "Remember Me" and a quote said stuck to me, "Our fingerprints don't fade from the lives we've touched". Do you believe you can make an impact on someone's life, that you leave an aura behind even after you're long gone? I do. I used to think the term soul mate meant finding someone to share your life with - preferably your partner. That was until you came into my life. I mean who is going sit down with me and binge watch Netflix while eating ice cream? Who's going to sit next to me and actually listen to all my thoughts? Now I think a soul mate is someone you love deeply and share an unbreakable bond with, whether it be your best friend or partner. Maybe you're best friend and soul mate all in one. How lucky can I get?

In our second year of college, I just want you to know that no matter what is thrown at us, we can get through it together like we always do. I mean we survived high school anatomy together! We can definitely handle college. Thank you for always believing in me and supporting my goals, even when I doubted myself. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us both, and I can't wait to see the day we're both holding our diplomas...We're one step closer to our dreams. I believe in you and all your abilities. I know we can do this.

Sincerely,

Your best friend

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.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
