To My Low Maintenance Best Friend
Kirsten Atchinson

To my Besterest Friend-er,

First of all I want to say hey. How've you been? I know we haven't talked in a little bit, but we both know that's quite alright. I just wanted to give you a little shout out to let you know how much you mean to me.

We have been friends for quite some time. I mean, hell, we were attached at the hip in high school. We had virtually every class together and then would come home and talk on the phone for HOURS (why did we think that was a good idea, by the way? So much wasted time.) Your family became my family and I am pretty sure my brother was in love with you from the age of 2 until the age of 9. He did call you his girlfriend, after all. Then, of course, there was that summer after high school where I practically lived at your house. Your mom probably should have charged me rent.

I was terrified when we went off to college that we would drift apart and stop talking, but we didn't. Although our friendship has changed a bit over the years. I mean that in the best way possible.

You are the type of friend that I don't need to see to know that we are still cool. We have gone YEARS where we see each other once or twice (we broke the record by seeing each other 3 times this year) just because our schedules are completely opposite and I really don't head home often anymore. It always seems that no matter where we left off, we pick up right in the same spot, like nothing ever changed.

You are the first person I text when I see someone from high school doing some stupid, annoying, or ridiculous crap on Facebook. You are the first person I text when something reminds me of some stupid stunt we pulled in high school. I still vent to you about my boy problems and I most definitely consult you about all of my medical problems. You probably should have rethought being a nurse since you know how accident prone I am.

You are the type of friend that is always there. Not literally of course, but I know that if all hell is breaking loose, I can call you and you will come running. It could be 2pm or 2am. It could be sunny and warm or the middle of a snowstorm. It could be for my world ending or maybe it's just beginning. Regardless of the reason, I know that if I needed you, you would be there.

What it boils down to is that your low maintenance, no bullcrap friendship means the world to me. I couldn't imagine calling anyone else my closest friend.

Love you mucho,

Your Besterest Friend-er

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.

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
