An Open Letter To My Friends From High School

Dear my friends many miles away,

An Open Letter To My Friends From High School
Pintrest

We were inseparable for 6 years! Okay, minus those few little fights here and there. We had this plan to be life-long friends, but then I moved 60-something miles away to live my dream and go to college. Now we barely speak, so this one is for you.

I know we have only talked a handful of times since we threw our caps into the air, heck even that night after we all hugged, but didn’t even say a word. Despite the distance between us, I still love you and this is why.

Remember when...

we were at that festival and you saw me have my first panic attack, although neither of us knew what was going on, you helped me back to our other friend’s house and held me until I felt safe.

we would stay up all night making dumb videos, because we would land a part on Shake It Up! (What the heck were we thinking? We STILL can’t dance)

we went and bought my first pair of skinny jeans behind my mom’s back. I got in so much trouble for them!

we had that sleepover and we fit four of us in my bed! We played stupid games and talked about life, what we were going to do after graduation mostly.

the all-girl English and Health class they forced us into our freshman year? And all the trouble we got into? That was the worst decision they could have made.

We have these countless memories together, but there are some things I need to thank you for.

Thank you for...

Picking me up when I’m down.

The countless hours of conversation, even about the dumbest things.

Helping me through my break-ups and set-backs.

Allowing me to become a part of your families.

Supporting all my great decisions, followed with my worst.

All our arguments, stomach-busting laughs, and everything in between.

Helping me recover, although I didn't believe I could.

Helping me kick depressions butt, even though it was hard.

Loving me although, I'm a brat.

Taking up for me.

BUT most of all...

Thank you for... simply coming into my life. For never leaving despite the thousands of reasons I've given you over the years. For being my safety blanket on my hardest days.



I know most of us are 60-something miles away, but there never comes a day when I don’t think about, or miss you. Memories constantly pop into my head and I laugh at how stupid we were, especially thinking we were going to get famous off of our tacky outfits and awful dancing skills. I would give anything for just one day where we could all be together again.

With much love,

your little princess, sassy, tacky friend 60-something miles away.

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.
