Dear New Best Friend,

Thank you for everything.

Dear New Best Friend,
Victoria Salvatore

Well, I don't even know where to start. It seems as if just yesterday I was meeting you, not aware of the fun we would soon share together. I could have never hoped for anyone better. You truly are such a special person, so I thought I would tell you why.

Meeting You.

To be honest, when we first met, I didn't know if we would be friends. We were meeting a lot of people and you could have just been another face in the crowd. Instead, we immediately started bonding. It was as if we had known each other for years, even though it had been only a few days. By the end of the first week of school, we were staying up late together and grabbing all meals of the day. It was a great start to the school year.

Often, when you meet someone, most conversations involve surface topics, like where you are from, what you do in your free time, etc. As the answers to these questions quickly came and went, we decided to indulge in more intriguing conversations. I soon came to realize the type of person you were. I realized you were someone who actually knew how to listen to me and cared about what I was saying. You would make me feel like I was actually included in things, something that was quite foreign to me. We became inseparable, staying up late during the week to do homework together and going out late on the weekends.


Your Heart.

At last, I felt that I had met someone who I could actually enjoy myself with. As you know, I did not have the best luck with people at home. My friends were rude, they blew me off, belittled me to nothing. Still, I stayed by their sides through everything for reasons I can't explain. I really was lost with them. And then, I found you.

You have no idea how much meeting someone like you means to me. As we talked several times, you know how I was treated at home. And you chose to be an actual friend to me, someone I could trust and I know would not run away tomorrow. It isn't easy for me to trust people and believe that all of their intentions are good. So, I apologize whenever I doubt friendships with other people. Thank you for understanding that. I know this sometimes angers you, but you've never wavered from our friendship. This is a testament to the type of person you are: someone who actually is there to stay.


Our Fun

Since becoming best friends, we have done so much together. The amount of seemingly dumb things we say are some of my favorite memories. We make every situation a party, whether it be in our dorm rooms or some frat we are going to that weekend. When we are together, we do not have a care in the world. It is as if the world is ours and we can accomplish anything we want.

There is so much in store for our future. We have so many adventures planned for this year and I cannot wait. I finally found someone who I can enjoy every type of moment together, no matter how dumb or how serious it is. Thank you for being that person for me. I know you know this, but you are the first person I can actually see myself being friends with for the rest of my life. I cannot wait to be little, old ladies together one day.

.

Thank you for being a genuine best friend.

Here's to the countless years together to come.

Love,

Your Best Friend

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.
