Don't ever wish your life away.

Letter To The High School Girl Who Thinks She Has It All Figured Out
Callie Futey

Dear my darling,

That boy you claimed to love with all of your heart, you know the one. He was the one that made your heart race at the sound of his name. I know you’ve dreamed that he would be the one you stayed and cherished memories with.

I’m aware that you spent every waking moment with him also. I’m also aware that you’re broken hearted feeling like nothing and nobody can “fix” you. Then there was that friend that talked the most about you, but had the brightest smile and was ready to talk you up when you walked by.

Well, let me tell you this: that boy, the one you swear was perfect isn’t perfect if he could let a gem like you go. I know you believed in him like he was a fairly tale and I know it’s hard to get over him as well. Yes, there are going to be days when you feel like dying but the one thing you have to remember is when you were stuck listening to his lies.

You may feel alone because you dropped that unsupportive friend but you just have to know that it was for the best and I promise you’ll notice who would really stick by you no matter what. Sometimes people are meant to stay in our lives, but instead some are meant to only take a little ride to show us what and who we deserve.

You’re going to go through a tough time but in the midst of it, just realize that it’s all worth it. You’ll be glad you found yourself and clarified your morals. You’re going to wish someday that you had taken that chance or went to that one place that people begged you to go, but those are called regrets and I’m begging you not to have anymore of them.

Please don’t ever wish your life away no matter how badly you want high school to end. High school is just a practice round and you’ll realize in college that what you do matters, whether it’s breaking you or making you, so enjoy being free of the real world’s dictation at the moment.

You may feel as if you have everything all figured out but I promise you that life will flip you upside down and when that happens, pray that you surrounded yourself with the right people and you’ll be okay

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.
