To My High School Best Friends

Although we may be miles apart you can always call or text me.

Dear Best Friends,

As I enter my sophomore year of college and further my education, I have started to look back on my memories of high school and You typically are in most if not all of them from classes to football games to the time we "built" a door. You were there and we still laugh about it to this day. We've seen each other at some of our lowest points and even been mad at one another for trying to protect the other from trouble and hurt. I know it's hard to believe that it has been a year since we graduated. It seems like just yesterday we were meeting by the stairwells before classes to talk about all the gossip we refused to say over texting. We have all chosen our different paths. A couple of you have gotten engaged and had a beautiful baby.

Although it may seem like I've moved on and made new friends while I have been away at school, I don't ever stop missing you all. You can ask any of my friends I never shut up about the crazy times we have had. Although we have all went in our different directions you all will always be my friends. I know we may not speak all the time but I mean it's harder now with us all having adult lives.

You all have seen some of my worst moments and my best achievements. You all know my biggest pet peeves, my favorite comedies and how I have learned some of my biggest life lessons from the Lifetime Movie Network. What made you guys my friends wasn't the fact that I hated one of you for awhile or the fact that one of you was my neighbor. But the fact that when I was wrong or I looked terrible you were never afraid to tell me to get up and dust myself off and try again. You all were never just my best friends. Somewhere during high school you became apart of my family and decided that my parents and siblings weren't all that bad and stuck around for that I congratulate you.

If there were ever anything I would want you to remember it would be that although I may have new best friends they could never take your place because believe it or not you all know way too much about me and I know way too much about you and we have way too many memories together for you to get rid of me. Always remember that even though I may be 3 hours away I am only one call away. No matter the time. Even if I am sleeping (Yes I'll be slightly upset) I will answer because no matter the situation I will have your back. Just face the fact I am like a disease you just can't get rid of (#SorryNotSorry).

Love Your Eternal Bestie,

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
