My Love,

I can't believe the time has come where we part our separate ways. I start my journey in a completely new place without the person I have been experiencing all my "news" with. I cannot begin to understand what my life is going to be like a thousand miles away from you. I am going to go from being with you almost everyday, carrying out our daily routine, to relying on video chat in order to be able to see you.

Life with you has been amazing. You helped me grow as a person, take chances, and most importantly you taught me how to love someone unconditionally. I became a better version of myself through being with you, thank you. You have been there for me through all the ups and downs of my senior year, from helping me study to hearing me complain, you were my person. You are my person. Taking on this transition I need my person, and I am thankful you are willing to be there through it all with me, no matter the outcome.

It's hard to leave you behind. Especially your family. I love your family. They welcome me as their own and never make me uncomfortable in any situation. It's nice to be shown off as "your girl" to them and all of your friends. I have never wanted to be the girlfriend your friends hate and I am thankful I am not one of them. I know I have taken up your time, and claimed you every weekend, but I hope you're looking back and thinking you wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else but sleeping next to me.

I am going to miss waking up in the middle of the night to you next to me. No matter the arguments we have had or the disagreements, we have always been strong enough to get through them and move on. That is what I like the most about you. The faith and potential you see in me and our relationship has carried me through the good and the bad. I will miss you like crazy.

Doing all of the lasts, such as your last time sleeping over, last time holding me and the last time kissing me, I realize the love I have for you. I promise to never forget you, no matter what the future holds for us. I know we will never let misery get the best of us, and that we will see the positives in whatever out come God has for us. We have talked about a future together for so long, and I hope that it happens because I would love to grow old with you, have kids with you, and see the world with you. Just know you will always be my first love. This journey will be hard, but we got this. I promise to only call you crying about three times a week.

Love you so much,

Your Girlfriend

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.
