A Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend

A Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend
The Emory Wheel

I never thought there would come a day that you wouldn’t be just a few minutes away. Whether I needed someone to go to the mall with me, was fighting with my mom and needed somewhere to hide out, or just wanted someone to talk to, you were always my go to. Ever since middle school, almost every single day was spent with you, and the thought of being hundreds of miles apart broke my heart.

I got lucky though. Somehow, after being separated by state borders and having to go months without seeing each other, we’re closer than ever. Two years out of high school, you’re still my go to, and I couldn’t thank you enough for that.

I would be lying if I said out friendship hasn’t changed in some ways. Our late night Applebee’s runs have been replaced by midnight Facetime calls. Instead of spending the day holding down the couch and venting to each other, it’s now an endless stream of hate texts about all the latest drama. Now, weekends spent together are a chaotic mash up of reminiscing on old times, catching up, and making up for countless girls nights missed.

Thank you for never letting us drift apart even when we’re both drowning with responsibilities. Thank you for always finding the time to listen all of my problems while still figuring out your own. Thank you for encouraging and supporting me from afar. But most of all, thank you for becoming friends with the weird girl on your cheerleading team all those years ago, she doesn’t know what she would’ve done without 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.
